I will be happy to get you set up with a set of Carbotechs.

It is more the esthetic looks of the rotors over time that bothers me.
Washing the brakes fixes the non issue the brakes your looking at the power stop dust on the rotor

Sounds like sour grapes to me! I know better!
I run the power stops on BOTH my Z06's pedal feel is every bit as good as stock and I GUARANTEE they dust way way less than the stock pads.

Just like 100 other user's I know of say the same thing as well.
The very small amount of dust appears brown after going a while with no washing. No issues what so ever I just power wash the wheels and disc's. Back to looking great!

Look man. There are no sour grapes here. Just giving honest feedback on MY experience. I’m glad you are happy with your set. I would not purchase again. I plan to try Carbotechs with my new Z.

Just to clarify. The rotors become brown in the swept area. I’m aware brake dust will be brown. Secondly, I had to push my brake pedal so far down to get good stopping power that it was lower than my accelerator pedal. No exaggeration - just my experience
