Stoptech Street Performance pads
Anyone tried running these on their C5Z? I'm intersted in your feedback for a street driven car with occasional "spirited driving". Compared to OE Pads...Noise? Stopping power? Dust? Fade?

If your looking for low dusting performance street pad check out the Carbotech 1521. F $144 R $124 less 7%.
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, and has won multiple SCCA Solo 2 and Prosolo National Championships. 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. Bobcat 1521™ compound has also been found to extend the life of your rotors 2-3 times. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

I installed them together with C6Z51 discs recently. So far no noise at all. Feels like the stock pads and not grippy like a race pads, easy to modulate brake torque. Brake dust seem to be moderate so far, quite surprised actually. I haven't driven them in a spirted way yet though. I haven't tracked (roadraced) them yet. Time will tell how they work in that environment. I had the Centrics extended wear pads before and they were quite good for the price, sofar these seem to have the same qualities. For the C5 application they lack the wear indicartors if that matters.
