Default Carbotech brake pads

We at Zip have been working very hard to bring out the new C7 parts. Once of the parts have been brake pads. We helped Carbotech develop the new rear brake pad for the Corvette. The front was a carry over from another vehicle line using the Brembo Caliper. The factory pads are very nice however they dust horribly, so any street car should really look at the Carbotech 1521 compound to decrease this. At 549 miles are car had caked on dust, luckily we have black wheels so it is not as noticeable as a car with silver or chrome wheels. We will soon be offering the new two piece rotors and brake lines to round out the package. Pads should be here sometime by the end of the week or the following, the website will be showing parts this week with all the pricing on them.
