I can’t help but find it amusing that GM comes out with bigger brakes to get the same performance without copper, and people order the option then toss the pads in favor of - well, copper. Not that I blame them, I would too if I was looking for the best performance I could get from them.

Not wanting to whistle past the graveyard, I saw a post in a group on this subject where we were discussing where this legislation was heading. Keep an eye on the availability of these pads in the future, it might not be just California and Washington.

Here is long but informative video by the EPA on why this is being mandated:

There's no way I'm spending an hour watching that, LOL, but if it makes our world cleaner and safer by removing copper from brake pads (and we can do it easily enough) then I'm all for it.
