I have to chuckle at the guys spending $50-60 on special wheel wax to help make it easier to clean off. In my opinion, fix the problem, don't treat the symptoms. For all the dust the factory pad is unimpressive performance wise. I literally went from these dust demon pads to non dust ceramic and maintained performance, but that's ok with me.

I offered to ship the pads to anyone for $20, if I don't get any takers in two weeks they will go in the trash. So far no bites at all.

Only $80?!?! I thought I read near $200 in another thread! Either way it'd be worth it, that's not what's holding me back but the dust is definitely bad.

This may sound bad but anytime I have to make a quick/hard stop I cringe as I visualize black dust settling on the wheel lol.

$80.79 shipped with some rock auto coupon I found with google.

Z231474A front
Z231718 rear

You can spend $125 if you want the stainless backing plates on the Z26. Its the same pad but with no rubber isolator behind for higher temp use (Stock brembos have a rubber backing). I'm not changing fluids and lines for higher temp stuff, and don't plan to track it. So I chose the Z23 that has less chance of squeaking and saved about $50.

So what's holding you back?

Just the replacing of an essentially new brake pad. Not sure why I care though. I'd probably just keep them in the power stop box since you never know...

Got there very late and didn't stay long. I'm doing a show with the local Camaro club that I just joined on 8/21 that I'm looking forward to.

Bummer. But the upcoming event sounds fun.

Boring and bland but it sure gets great gas mileage! 100+ miles to a gallon of gas. I did plug it in overnight.

I need my support group. I'm having withdrawal symptoms... L😂L!

Had to trade in the Camaro... not! Dealer is fixing some minor issues: wind noise, bumper panel not aligned, knee pad popping out, cup holder liner popping out, gfx not flushed and loose.

I asked for a Vette loaner. I guess they misheard me and gave me a Volt instead L😂L!
