Order them. They are a bit grabby on th3 street when cold, but w the sticky tires are a great option... and if you just hate brake dust they are worth it for that alone!

Op, will you track the car? If yes then the ceramic j57 option is a good way to go. However rotors are extremely expensive. And tracking wears them out fast
if you don’t track the car the j57 ceramic option is good. Because they are clean and will last pads and rotors the life of the car. 150k plus miles.
If you want clean on the street just go with what you have and on powerstop z26 pads for 130 bucks at rock auto. And save 5k for the j57 option.

If you are not tracking the car -- get the standard brakes- and go to rock auto.com and look up the powerstop z26 pads - 130 bucks all the way around and a 1 hour job to swap them out.i - 90 minutes if you take your time and clean and wax the wheels thoroughly inside and out -- had the powerstop on my c6z and now my c7z - i actually think the car has a little better bite. they are clean and quiet. -- if you have a grandsport, and keep that put them on that car.
