Think a vendor will ever.....
manufacturer ceramic pads for the Z06 brake calipers? Personally, I'm tired of the necessity of having to clean my wheels everyother &%$#?&! day, especially now that it's getting cold. And as far as street use, don't think we'd see that much difference in braking performance. It sure would be a welcome addition to my car, anyway!

Not spam...logical question...BTW Hawk makes the ceramic composite pads for Z-51 AND Z06 calipers I believe.. I got 'em for both my C-6's and they greatly reduce brake dust...which is what the Eurorod logical question was. Right?
More to the point: WTF is wrong with asking a technical question given that this Forum contains many knowledeable dudes [U]who just may give polite logical /non-smart-*** answers to even naive questions?[/U]
Maybe I'm out of line here, but I honestly thought that one of the main pruposes of this Forum was to spread the wealth so to speak wrt technical/performance information.
"No such thing as a dumb question...just dumb, or worse still arrogant /smart-*** answers."
Just my $.02
Best Regards,

I got Hawk Ceramics from LG. The brake dust is reduced about 80-85% I'd say. Stopping power maybe is reduced 15%, & that's emergency slam on the brakes power. They're no different in normal driving.
