Powerstop z26 for 202 LT1 with Brembo fronts

Looking for some help here. I'm thinking about getting a set of the Powerstop Z26 pads for my 2020 LT1. I have the Brembos on the front, standard on the rear. Sick of my front wheels being fully coated by brake dust after 100 miles. Car is not, and will not likely ever be tracked, street driving only.

I have a couple of questions:

1) I'm not seeing excessive dust on the rears, is it worth swapping them with the Powerstops as well, just to be consistent on all 4 corners? (Not worried about the cost, they're not overly expensive, just wondering if I'll see any benefit)

2) Looking at the Powerstop site, I'm not sure which submodel I should pick to find the correct pads for front and rear...

I suspect that if I just pick the LT1 sub-model, I will get the correct REAR pads, but the FRONT pads would be for the non-brembo LT1 front brakes...?

I'm not sure how to tell by looking at my front brakes if they are the 4 or 6 piston Brembos, but I assume that the "Brembo front brake" option on the LT1 would be the 4 piston?

So my question is, should I choose "LS and LT Models with 4 Piston Front Caliper", "SS With 4 piston front caliper", or "LT1" for my front rotors?

3) I'm assuming that picking "LT1" for the rear will work fine, given that i have the standard LT1 brakes in the rear?

Any help appreciated!

Update:

Looking at the model numbers for the front pads:

LT1 ------------------------------------------------ Z26-1001
LS and LT Models with 4 Piston Front Caliper -- Z26-1001
SS With 4 piston front caliper ---------------- -- Z26-1474A

So looks like the Standard LT1 front and LS/LT with 4 piston front are the same model (Z26-1001) and the SS with 4 piston front is a different model (Z26-1474A)...

Question is, which do I need for my LT1 with Brembo fronts? Still confused :-)

I also noticed that the front wheels get coated in brake dust very quickly.
Please keep us posted. Perhaps an email or phone call to Powerstop will solve the part number confusion.

1001 and 1474 are basically the same pad. The 1474 have dampeners on them.
