Agreed. Inherent issue with Brembos. But decent brakes.

Congrats and welcome!

There are 50ths already sold and delivered in Canada. Unless you're specifically talking about the ZL1.

Yeah that Hyper Blue is awesome. I almost did that. Then saw the 50th and the rest is history lol.

Congrats on your upcoming ZL1.

Yeah the Brembos are good, I'm seriously thinking of changing the pads.

(Sorry for the chain...)

I too was thinking of changing pads and going with some carbon-ceramics (I think that's what they were). I'd seen someone mention them on another thread. No too expensive either.
However, I don't have the tools currently to perform such a change nor do I have any mechanic friends that I could get help from. I REALLY don't want to do this at a dealer.

Suggestions for brand/type?
(BTW, I'm giving the forum a look-see as well.)

Yeah, nothing much we can do when it comes to high performance brakes.
BMWs, even the Lexus GS with 4 pot front brakes were terrible in terms of brake dust.
I'll just make a habbit of wiping the wheels every 2 or 3 days. No biggie

I've been researching it as well, the carbon/ceramics are the ones I want as well, I think.

My car is a manual 6 too, but during break-in I try not to down shift for engine breaking.

Don't know if I can wait that long before changing pads, but good to know.

The inside of the wheels and brake calipers is my concern. The wheel "face" is easy to clean. The calipers and inside of the wheel, not so much.
