I've been tracking my Z06 lately and have been running CarboTechs for the track, but they dust and are noisy for the street. My stock pads still have some life, but I want some better street pads with some bite, that don't dust as much - Anyone have any recommendations and where I can buy them? I tried this thread on the part forum and had zero responses, so I wanted to try here. Thank you in advance.

Are you not trying to swap pads for street and track?

If you are running Carbotech track pads I would suggest the Carbotech AX6 for street use.

They are somewhat dusty and will still make some noise but you will get the cold bite you want and if you're lucky they won't shriek. No guarantee on that though. I ran them on my E46 M3 for about 2.5 years. Stopping was great and I was not friendly to that car.

8.5/10 I'd run again.

Bonus - If you hate noise you get to try all the goo, spray, grease, multi-shims, pad swapping, re-bedding .....but they will still squeak some. I usually suggest louder speakers as a better answer.

yes - swapping pads from track to street

Grab = dust. Less dust = less grab.

I’m not sure what was on the car when I bought it, but when they needed replacing I replaced them with Powerstop Z26 pads. Significantly less dust, which is really nice if you have black wheels. I don’t track my car, so I doubt I’d notice the difference between these and some of the more expensive fancy guy pads for street driving. I’ll replace these with another set when they die.

I would suggest sticking with Carbotech because all there compounds are compatible with each other so all you have to do is just swap pads and go on the same rotor no re-bedding no cleaning just swap pads and go . I would suggest the 1521 compound if you don't want noise and less dust, The AX6 is good as well but there will be noise and dust.

The Carbotech™ 1521™ is our high performance street compound. The 1521™ compound is known for its release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521™ is also a very low dusting and low noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound’s excellent linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Carbotech™ 1521™ operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 800°F (426°C+). 1521™ is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotech™ 1521™ is NOT recommended for ANY track use.

he AX6™ is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50°F to 1000°F + (10°C to 537°C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. Many drivers use the AX6™ for street driving as well, even though Carbotech™ doesn’t recommend street driving with AX6™ due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6™ is NOT recommended as a race compound in most applications.
