Default Power Stop Brakes

My new Z06 is being delivered next week and I'm thinking thru what little changes I'll need to make or at least have to consider. A few years back I bought a 2016 Z06 and the brake dust issue was horrible (standard brakes, not ceramic). I wound up installing Z26 Power Stop brake pads and they were fantastic AND inexpensive! So I'm looking online (Summit Racing) to see what they cost now and the part numbers for the 2016 Z06 (Z26-1405 & Z26-1718) according to Summit's site, don't fit the 2018 Z06 standard issue brakes. So my question...do the '18 brakes soot like the previous Z06 models did, are the '18 brakes different part numbers then the '16's were, and does anyone already know the Power Stop part numbers for a 2018? Thanks!

Before I pick up my new 2019 Z06 I’m having them put new carbotech brakes on mine. Since I was waiting on my wheels to be done I figured I would have the dealership put the new brake pads on. Everything I searched guys are saying how bad the brake dust is. I got mine from Adam on here. He has a link in the parts section.

I had the Powerstops on my '16 Z06 and will put them on my new one when I take it out of storage in the spring. Absolutely loved mine.

Thank you very much, GVE! I looked them up on the Summit Racing site and they said these p/n's were not for a 2018, but I know these were the p/n's for my 2016. Glad you were able to find and confirm this information!

Powerstops are the way to go. Virtually no dust at all.

I've been using Powerstop products for 3 years now. Very happy with their components.
