Hi All -

I have a 2017 Z06. The brake dust produced from the factory pads is unbearable, so I ordered Powerstop pads to replace and hopefully resolve the factory pad dust issue.

My questions for the group are:

1. The Powerstops came with new clips and pins, should I use what they provided or reuse the factory hardware? My car only has 600mi on it.
2. Do I need to break -in the new pads, or just install and drive normally?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Dino

With regard to #1: reuse them. I've probably swapped pads 25 times now and they're fine. They're dry so you won't even need to grease them up.

The Powerstops come with instructions on the proper procedure to bed them in properly, simple and your done. You will be very happy with the lack of dust and grime from your new pads.

Like Village Idiot, I re-used the factory clips and pins as they looked better quality. Have fun the with bedding procedure if you live in a major urban city. Its almost impossible to find a place to do it safely unless you head out to the country.

Power Stop pads will turn your rotors brown !!! Get the Carbotech pads !!!

If you spend all of your time looking at your rotors instead of the rest of that beautiful machine you must have a Rotor Fetish.

I installed the PowerStop pads and drove normally...no bedding performed....works fine for me.
I reused the original pins and clips/spring thingey.....looked like better quality than what came with the new pads.
And I don't really care what color my rotors are.....

I posted the following in the C7 General Forum but learned that Vendors own a thread that they initiate. Hopefully this is the proper place to post this item to share my experience:

Purchased these as my solution to the brake dust problem. Price was right and feedback on performance is all good.
I'll be putting them to the test next week and let y'all know what I think.
