PowerStop Z26 After 150 Miles...
Wheels have not been washed since I threw the PowerStops on and they are still looking clean after 150 miles...
With the OE pads, my wheels would have looked rusty brown from the dust after 20 miles...
Definitely digging the PowerStops!!

And performance is comparable?

I'm not out there autocrossing so I can't compare from that standpoint, but I haven't noticed any difference running them on the street other than the lack of dust.

I held on to my OEM pads in case I was disappointed with the Z26 pad performance. I've since forgotten that I kept them up until just a few minutes ago.

Best 125 bucks you'll ever spend on your corvette.

Impressive that they look that clean after 150 miles.

I would also like to see some performance stats... stopping distance and fade resistance compared to stock. I'll be doing some autox and occasional track event.

Almost any pad can stop the car just as fast, as long as you stomp on the brakes. It is the ability of repetition that matters. Are these ceramic? If so, they'd not be appropriate for track use.
At the street, however, the fade resistance doesn't matter as much.

If you're worried they won't take repeated high speed racetrack type stops and you're at the track for a day, just drop your stock brembos back in for the afternoon, it takes but 20 minutes to do all 4 with nothing but a lug wrench and a floor jack. When you're not at the track enjoy clean wheels after hundreds of miles of driving. I don't track my car, but I drive it hard and have not been able to notice ANY difference between these and the stock pads, but again, if you're racing your car then low dust shouldn't be your focus anyhow.
Here's my fronts after about 125-150 mile round trip.
