Stock Pads and Z06 Brake Dust?
How is the brake dust with general street driving with the stock pads on the Z06? I have one coming in a couple of weeks and am wondering what to expect. I know the dusting with the stock pads on my 2011 Grand Sport was absolutely ridiculous until I installed ceramics.

The brake dust is ridiculous especially with the chrome wheels. My front were bad and that's just street driving. I just got my Hawk ceramic performance pads today. That's this weekend's task

Does anyone know what material the OE pads are on an iron rotor Z06? The brake dust on my car is just HORRIBLE!!
How are you liking these 1521's on your Z? I do not track the car, just want good braking without all the dust....UGH

Get the Carbotech 1521's, install them yourself and do a ceramic coat on the rims while you do it. I used cQuartz finest but Blackfire Crystal Seal is the easiest coating one can get away with...
