OK, I've had my Z51 for a week and I have had to clean the wheels every day. I've read about the Power Stop Z26 pads and they sound like just what I need. Does anyone know the part numbers for a 2017 Z51 and where I can get them?

Thanks,

Steve Garrett

Read this thread, Eric.....

I got mine from Amazon.

Thanks, Steven. This is the info I need. Rooster is right. Amazon has the best price.
I'll be ordering tomorrow.

Rockauto and Amazon seem to go back and forth on who has the better price so check both. Prices on Amazon seem to fluctuate daily at times. Check out the Z23 pads as well to save a few bucks if you don't track the car. Apparently, the pads are identical, only the shims differ.

Amazon looked good and with Prime the shipping is free. I'll be very happy when I won't have to clean my wheels every time I come home.

Eric, you'll absolutely love these pads. I had them installed-virtually NO brake dust.

Thanks, Steve. I just bought a new aluminum floor jack and jacking pucks. As soon as the pads get here I'll slap them in. I'm getting real tired of cleaning my wheels after every time I go for a ride.

I was the same way, Eric. I would wipe down the wheels after almost every drive-it got frustrating.

This will be the best money you've spent on your C7!

I agree. A simple inexpensive DIY mod that will save you a tonne of washing time.

Great upgrade to every C7.

I just finished replacing my brake pads with Power stops. It couldn't have gone easier. It took about 3 hours total. Less than ten minutes per wheel to replace the pads and the rest of the time was spent cleaning and waxing the wheels and calipers. I went out for a ride and so far no brake dust.

Thanks to everyone who offered their opinions.

So I read through the link listed above but am still not sure which brake pads you guys are suggesting? I don't track the car but I want less dust. Which pads did you go with on Amazon? I have a plain old (��) 2016 C7 Stingray. Thanks for any clarification you can offer!

Choose your model number here and then price around. I did Amazon.

Thank you for the reply and help!

On the fence between Z23 and Z26 for my Z51. Any inputs, not tracking but trying to make the best decision. I'm sick of cleaning my wheels!

I used the Z26 pads around $100 front and rear from Amazon.

Thanks Eric, are they quiet? That is my major concern.

I just used the little bit of lube provided on the back and edges. I have not head one sound from them. Hot or cold.
