1jester Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ready to put new brakes on my C7 Z 51. I’m not a Johnny racer but want a decent stopping without having to mortgage the car. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidNiteFury01 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Carbotech makes good products, I’d specifically look at their 1521 line as it has good stopping power over stock, producing low dust and no noise, as well as being rotor friendly. Ferodo also makes a very solid product above stock, but can be pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCMSH Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I put the NAPA Adaptive One pads on mine. I thought they were a great combination of performance and low dust, not mention you go to your local guy and just pick them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1jester Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Nice thing about local is you can take things back if they’re not exactly what you need, whereas shipping is a pain in the ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Funny, I was just getting ready to post this same thread. I need to do rotors and pads on my 08 Z51 package. Was looking at the Powerstop Z23 package. Other recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccaneer Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I use Carbotech pads on the vette and put the Powerstop complete system on the truck last year. So far, I have no complaints with either brake system items. I used to use Hawk pads on the truck and vette, but switched them out because of the high dust on both vehicles.

94transamgt Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I have DBA rotors and Hawk pads, they have been very good and long lasting. The pads are dusty as some have mentioned. I think Tirerack has the best price also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertdawg Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just wanted to update this thread with what I went with. brakeperformance . com Premium Cross Drilled & Slotted Brake Kit (#CBFR-62086;CBFR-62096) Option: Ceramic Premium Pads (#PE-07310;07320) ($25.43) Sets: Front & Rear (4 Wheel Brake Kit) Color: Black - 2008 - Z51 Package, Heavy Duty Price: $485.45 Only, they didn’t have drilled and slotted for the Z51 package. I received cross drilled rotors just like the factory set. So far they are good, bedded in just fine, no dust yet, no noise, and they try to detach your eyeballs when you mash them hard.
