I just installed Carbotech 1521’s on my Z06. Zero brake noise and reduced dust over the stock pads.

I just cleaned my car today after 300 miles of driving in sunny weather (no rain) and the wheels and barrels were spotless.
Its td an easy job. I spent more time cleaning the wheels and brake calipers when doing the pad replacement From driving 150 miles on the factory pads then replacing the pads themselves.

powerstop z26 ceramics. 130 bucks all the way around for a c7z on rock auto dot com. Easy to install, quiet , clean and I think they work better then the factory pads.

For a high quality low dust aftermarket pad I recommend the Carbotech 1521 pad 100% made in the USA. A low dust pad that is rotor friendly and performs like OEM and last longer. 100% non-corrosive dust will not harm your paint or wheels. This pad also contains NRS technology. Carbotech uses NRS technology on all C4, C5, C6 & C7 front and rear brake pads. Here is a link to explain further what NRS technology is exactly: https://www.nrsbrakes.com/about/If interested I will be happy to help you out or you can order online here http://ampdautosport.com/brake-pads/corvette/

You can't beat the Powerstops for the quality and cost. JMHO

I'm going to have to look into the powerstop pads, the dust is annoying on these stock pads. Went to RockAuto but they don't have anything listed for the 19 Z06 yet

I just (2 weeks ago)put the Powerstops on mine and I agree fully that the dust is WAY less. I used to have to wash the wheels after every time I drove it, now I can go several before I just wash them because i'm washing the rest of the car.
As for the performance... they work good except the initial bite is not as good as stock. I, not being someone who tracks the car, it works for daily/spirited driving just fine.
Another note... I only changed the front so far (I have the rears just didn't do it at the time) and the rears have about as much brake dust as the Power stops so no need to change those out if your main concern is the dusting. This will give you an idea about the front.
