Increased braking performance would be nice but not the primary objective. What suggestions do you have that might work for me?
So, It sounds like changing pads for track days is out ? If that is the case you are going to have noise on the streets if you don't mind that than I would highly recommend using the Carbotech XP10 on front and the XP8 on the rear. This combo is a true track set up that can be driven safely on the street.

XP10 $222 XP8 $196

Carbotech™ XP10™

When Carbotech™ unleashed the XP10™ to the general public it immediately gathered multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10™ has a very strong initial bite with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1475°F (801°C). XP10™ still maintains the highly praised release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that have made all Carbotech™ compounds so successful. Carbotech™ XP10™ is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.

doesn't recommend street driving with AX6™ due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6™ is NOT recommended as a race compound in most applications.


Carbotech™ XP8™

A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1250°F+ (93°C to 676°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

Will these pads wear the stock rotors faster or am I better off upgrading the rotors too?

Also, how much noise is the "elevated level"?

These pads are going to be harder on the rotors, I do not see any reason to upgrade the rotor they are fine. Now once the OEM rotors are shot that's a different story.. Carbotech compounds are one of the most rotor friendly pads on the market they really do not eat rotors like Hawk, PFC, or other pad manufactures.

As far as noise every car is different you may experience some loud squeal at low speed with low pressure stops. Some will tell you they daily drive on this combo some will say no way its personal preference. If you where willing to change pads for street and track than I would just use the 1521 on the street and swap pads for track days. Are Carbotech compounds are compactable with each other so, you can use same rotors no cleaning just swap pads and go.

Thanks for the info. Once I'm through this next set I'll I have to do something.

I also want to look into rotors, especially since the stock ones need those stupid cooling rings.

Hi Adam,

I just ordered my new C7 Z51 brake pad track setup from your web site: Carbotech XP10 in the front and XP8 in the rear. Appreciate the 'z28' discount at check-out. Can't wait to try them out.

Just installed these last week (XP12 in front XP10 in rear) and did a Track Day at Waterford Hills. Big improvement on my lap times. Was able to brake way later. Dust wasn't too bad and the stock rotors look good. Thanks Adam!

Are there low dust pads that work well with the carbon brake rotors on the Z07?

Sure you can use the 1521 on the carbon rotors. If you would like a quote let me know.

Carbotech™ Bobcat 1521™ The Carbotech Bobcat 1521™ is our high performance street compound that is our most successful compound. The Bobcat compound is known for its awesome release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s virtually perfect linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Bobcat 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 900°F. Bobcat 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle, police cruiser. The Bobcat 1521™ compound has been found to last two-three times longer than OE pads you can purchase at a dealership or national retailer. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.
