This thread is for the general discussion of the classified ad OEM C8 Stingray Z51 front and rear pads - almost new. Please add to the discussion here.
For me, the Z51 was never out. It was more of 1LT Z51 vs 2LT Z51.
But I guess it depends how you drive... I take full advantage of the tires, brakes, LSD and exhaust.
There's also a bunch of visual things that also makes the Z51 more interesting. Also, I took the red seats but 2LT adds too much...
Finally got my car last week. White 1LT, Z51 with mag ride. There's more value in the Z51 for me vs 2LT since GM decided to add safety features to the 1LT packages.

Got the car last Tuesday, changed pads 2 days after... car had 40km :) Not like I wasn't used to heavy brake dust on my 911.

Finally got the call Friday. I have my appointment Monday afternoon. My original build when I've placed my deposit in 2021 was a 2LT coupe, Z51 with mag ride and lift kit. Back then, price was around 97K.
Same 2LT build is about 118K now, but unfortunately my fun car budget didn't follow the...
The only time my 911 seat moves is when I take it to the dealer for maintenance. I can get in and out quite easily. It's low and tight but I can manage. I don`t expect the C8 to be very different.
I was third on the list a couple months ago... Started 15th. But my build for 2LT coupe, Z51, mag and lift, went from 92K in 2021, to about 118K now.
Sorry but my budget for my fun car, didn't follow that same curve...
After looking at the order sheet for a 2024, I see a lot less reason for me...
