Melting Slicks
Mine are great (Power Stops) ,no dust, money left in pocket, no brown rotors 
)
I used a Scotch Bright pad to clean the rotors when I changed them. I DID NOT use a brake cleaner to clean the rotors as prescribed by Power Stop via phone conversation .

For a high quality low dust performance street pad take a look at the Carbotech 1521 brake pads.100% non-corrosive dust will not harm your wheels, paint or rotors. Carbotech brake pads are 100% made in the USA and can be ordered online here http://ampdautosport.com/brake-pads/corvette/ or call me at 216-780-8825. The part numbers you need are front CT1405 and rear CT1718 they are listed under C7 ZO6. Use promo code z28 at check out to receive your forum discount and the price will be $418.00 that includes front and rear pads.
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. 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. That’s one of the beauties of Carbotech Ceramic brake compounds. Bobcat 1521™ is NOT recommended for any track use.

As a followup to my previous post.
Put Powerstops on my '19 GS at 700 miles. Now at 6011 miles, I've only had to clean my wheels twice (and even then they really weren't that dirty) and my rotors aren't brown in the slightest.
And braking power is still better than most other cars I drive on the street
