Piece of cake changing the brakes. I've done Brembo's so many times I think I could do them blindfolded. Funny story, I got my car with 6 miles on it, they pulled it off the transfer truck in front of my house, I pulled it in the garage and removed the stock pads and replaced them with Carbotech pads. Didn't even test drive the vehicle before swapping the pads. LOL.

Z26 power stop for the daily no dust
OEM for track
That what I use

If you want stock like performance with less dust go with the Carbotech 1521 pads, they are pricey but worth it. They feel like stock pads, same initial bite but they don't dust nearly as much. The Powerstop Z23/Z26 pads that often get recommended are good for dust but they lack a LOT in bite and stopping power. I used them for over 3 years in my Hellcat thinking there were no better options out there for a low dust pad, but then I found Carbotech and won't look at another pad again. They are amazing!

Drove over an hour today, no dust. Even an hour of driving on stock pads i would already have a coating.....


I dont feel much difference in braking tbh, then again i don't really hard brake unless another deer jumps in front of me.

They don't recommend those for track use. What are your thoughts on that statement?

Carbotech has pads for track use as do many other companies. You're not going to get a pad for track use that doesn't dust a lot, they just don't exist. I recommend the Carbotech 1521s for a daily street driven car that wants performance like stock but without the excess dust.

Cool thanks. I will definitely look into these. Do you have a part number or its pretty self explanatory ordering from them?

UPDATE: i've spent about 45 mins looking up these pad and cant find a proper fitment for it. Can you provide me the part number for both front and rears please? TIA.
