Brake dust
OK, I've had my Z51 for a week and I have had to clean the wheels every day. I've read about the Power Stop Z26 pads and they sound like just what I need. Does anyone know the part numbers for a 2017 Z51 and where I can get them?
Thanks,
Thanks,

Rockauto and Amazon seem to go back and forth on who has the better price so check both. Prices on Amazon seem to fluctuate daily at times. Check out the Z23 pads as well to save a few bucks if you don't track the car. Apparently, the pads are identical, only the shims differ.

Thanks, Steve. I just bought a new aluminum floor jack and jacking pucks. As soon as the pads get here I'll slap them in. I'm getting real tired of cleaning my wheels after every time I go for a ride.

I was the same way, Eric. I would wipe down the wheels after almost every drive-it got frustrating.

I just finished replacing my brake pads with Power stops. It couldn't have gone easier. It took about 3 hours total. Less than ten minutes per wheel to replace the pads and the rest of the time was spent cleaning and waxing the wheels and calipers. I went out for a ride and so far no brake dust.
Thanks to everyone who offered their opinions.

So I read through the link listed above but am still not sure which brake pads you guys are suggesting? I don't track the car but I want less dust. Which pads did you go with on Amazon? I have a plain old (��) 2016 C7 Stingray. Thanks for any clarification you can offer!

Thank you for the reply and help!
Choose your model number here and then price around. I did Amazon.

I used the Z26 pads around $100 front and rear from Amazon.
