C8 Z51 Replacing Brake Pads?

[HC22]

I am awaiting delivery of my new (to me) 2023 C8 Z51. I am reading lots of nightmare posts on brake dust with the stock pads. I am thinking I might want to trade them out for a better pad with the objective of reducing dust but also keeping quiet operation as I have heard some replacements are noisy (clicking). I will only be using the pads for street use.

I looked into Carbotech 1521 based on some solid recommendations but they are quite pricy here in Canada - $940 Canadian.

I am wondering if people have other pads they have had positive experiences with. As well, if people think the dust issue is overstated or if replacement is a must do.

Thanks.

Read this thread. It should give you some good options.

Looking for the best z51 brake pads

I’m at 49k on the original breaks and probably may need to change them soon. I’m seriously tired of the brake dust from the z51 performance brakes. I’d like to use something that generates much less dust but still provides amazing stopping power. I do drive the car very spirited at times...
