Anyone here going to the Camaro Nationals in Fredrick, MD?
It would be nice to meet some of you in person.

The only other one I saw was at the Outback near the JAX airport. It was missing the "Y" in "FIFTY" on the passenger side.

I will keep an eye out you. Mine still has the "Y" in tact. I try to be careful when I wash or dry around it. Even being careful the microfiber will bump against it and you can just see how easily it wants to tear off.

My car is easy to recognize if it's parked anywhere. I don't have the matte gray center stripe down the hood or rear deck & I also have the GM Black tails.

I've purchased PowerStop Z26 brake pads. Trying to calm the dust down.

Let us know how that works out Heath. The brake dust from the stock pads is HORRIBLE...........(as I am sure you are well aware

)....... Curious as to where you ordered them from? I see a few Vendors have them, but some do not list the 2017.........

Someone else on the forums I think did this. But didn't give a review other than "stops good, some dust".

2016 as year should suffice since no major changes made between years other than some computer parts.

Yeah, Lethal (Matt E.) done a video on them. Said they have less dust. Figured I would try them out.

Missed his video. Will have to go check out his YouTube channel.

Looking at getting some of the Adams Wheel Cleaner for now.

I've used Adam's Wheel Cleaner, good stuff. A little high in price, but good stuff nonetheless. $60 for a gallon, $11 to ship it... $71 OTD. I'm a fan of Adam's product still.

I got them from amazon Mike. From the Power Stop site, the numbers are - Front : Z26-1474A
Rear : Z26-1718

Amazon says those are the wrong part numbers...I think they are delusional. I'll be sure to give my opinion after a few miles.

I've been debating these as well. I can almost deal with the dust but it's the resulting squeal that's really bothering me. (I know it's the dust and nothing else, been there, done that.)
It's a project that a little out of my comfort zone mainly because I don't have all of the "tools" necessary. (Hello, AutoZone loaner tools?) Not to mention our HOA frowns on working on cars in the driveway.

Although I'd be in the garage, it's a technicality.

Looking forward to your review.

I have the power stop pads on the front (we have the same front brembos) and the dust difference is incredible! I've done about 2800 miles since I changed out (2100 of which was a road trip) and I've just had to rinse the wheels off. My wheels are coated with Hydro2 but with the old pads there was no rinsing off. Braking is nearly identical, I suspect though on a track day you'd notice a difference.

I wish I would have done this at mile 5 lol, the dust really annoyed me.

jwdominick · 03-04-2017, 11:14 PM

I have the powerstop pads, 99% dust free. I can also say on my old 5 series bmw it handled track duty just fine with the same pads. Don't hesitate. It's a super easy swap. No special tools needed. Simply pop out the pins remove the detent spring, slide out the pads, replace the pins/detent. A punch and a small hammer is all you need and 20 minutes max
