Brembo Brakes Pads

JRG1 · 08-30-2015, 02:06 PM

Are the Brembo brakes that are on the 2016 SS Camaro the same ones that are on the standard C7 Corvette? I have one on order and am planning to put ceramic pads on almost immediately and want to make sure I get the right ones.

Thank you.

Id wait until you've got it in hand, a few more days wont hurt

That would probably be the smart move.

Brembo may or may not have the right pads ready for sale just yet.

The last time I used ceramic pads I went with Hawk. Looks like a lot of the guys are now using Carbotech.

My hawks powder like crazy. I was amazed how much break dust they create.

Thanks---I think I'll take a harder look at the Carbotech's.

Adam at Carbotech says they have the Bobcat 1521 pads available for the 16 Camaro SS.

Is the OE pad for a SS with J6G Brembo 4 piston a semi metallic pad? I’m assuming so by the amount and nastiness of dust.

Thanks. Any recommendations for a capable ceramic that runs cleaner?

Folks seem to like the power stop z26. They are low dust and work just fine for DD.

I agree. I used them on my 2017 2SS and they stopped great, about half the dust and the color was a light gray versus dark black. Also, the Z23 are good too, more for daily driver, not as performance orientated but even less dust. I plan on getting them for my new 2SS as well, when ever I get it.
