I changed to power stop z23's on my SS vert, wheels are pretty much completely dust free and I noticed no loss of braking grip
With it being a vert it will never see a true road course session so seems to be a perfect fit for my driving Only downside I have found is the very first cold stop (backing out of garage) is noisy, every time I use the brakes after that is fine though

Power Stop Z26's is what I used on my ZL1. No problems at all. A lot less dust. Part # for the rear, Z26-1053. For the front, Z26-1835.

if you want a pad that has the bite like stock but produces less dust, I recommend the Carbotech 1521 pads. The Powerstop Z26s will not dust as much as stock but they also don't have the same bite and will fade rather easily under heavy use. The Carbotech's do cost more but they're worth it if you like the stock feel but without as much dust. I run them on my ZL1 and on the C8 Z51 we had.

PowerStop Z26 pads all the way around on my 2SS and the dust decreased by about 90% and the stopping power decreased by about 15%... Well worth the change if you are NOT tracking the car...

They aren't cheap but its not like you change brake pads that often and I still like the bite of the stock pads. I've never been happy with the bite of the Power Stop Z26 pads. I haven't ran them on my ZL1 but I ran them on several Hellcat's that my wife and I owned and refused to put them on a car like my ZL1 or the C8 Z51.

Ill pile on for the PowerStop Z26 but you'll know the difference if you have to stand them hard, trade off is almost no dusting.
