Those pads should make a change out easier in addition to increasing the amount of friction material contacting the rotor. What is the price ?

List price is $355 front/$325 rear for DTC 70's. Other compounds have not been released yet.

We just went down to Norbert's - fit right in so we'll see.

Are you guys taking the anti-rattle clips out w/ one piece pads?

I haven't been. You still have to remove the caliper to change these out though, correct?

Yes -

I don't think there is any way around that.

The ones with that backing plate don't require removal of the clips but the backing plates used for the single piece Cobalts do.

I've been leaving the anti-rattle clips in with the one piece pads. I have been running Carbotech XP10's on my C6Z06. I even leave the anti-rattle clips in with titanium shims as backing plates. I put the titanium shims in when the pad wears down enough to put a 1 mm shim in. I have had no problems with the one piece pads I have been running but willing to try out other brands when a compound I can use comes out.
