My question was that I want to chang just the pads because of all the dust, the pads on there now are not worn out and there is no rust or lip on the rotors so can I just change the pad if the rotors are in good shape? Do I really need to chang the brake fluid?
Also since I have a Z06 I believe they come with a carbon pad,= lots of dust. Im I correct on that?
Some suggestions on a ceramic pad.

Never, ever, ever, ever, EVER, turn C5 rotors.
1. Finding a competent shop with equipment less than 50 years old isn't that easy
2. Those that have the equipment won't do it for free
3. Most importantly, new OEM rotors can be had from NAPA for less than $30 each.
My rotors have had a "lip" on them for almost 50K miles, 8 track sessions, and 2.5 full autocross seasons under them. The lip means nothing.
HTH, and have a good one,
Mike
