Apply the brakes 25 times, starting at 60 mph (100 km/h) to 30 mph (50 km/h), while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake application. Drive for at least 0.6 mi (1 km) between applying the brakes. This first step may be skipped if there are more than 200 mi (320 km) on the brake pads. | Apply the brakes 25 times, starting at 60 mph (100 km/h) to 15 mph (25 km/h), while system (ABS). Drive for at leastdecelerating at 0.8 g. This is a hard brake application without activating the antilock brake 0.6 mi (1 km) between applications. Depending on conditions, some increase in brake pedal travel and brake pedal force may be experienced. | Cooldown: Drive at 60 mph (100 km/h) for approximately 10 mi (15 km) without using the brakes. | Apply the brakes 25 times, starting at 60 mph (100 km/h) to 30 mph (50 km/h), while decelerating at 0.4 g. This is a medium brake application. Drive for at least 0.6 mi (1 km) between applications. |

Start track lapping at lower speeds and lower braking efforts for 3 minutes of driving. Allow for increased braking distances due to reduced brake output. | After Step 1, increase speed and braking effort for the next 6 minutes of lapping, gradually ending up at 90% effort. Continue to allow for increased braking distance due to reduced brake output. | Cool the brakes by lapping with minimal light braking for 6 minutes. |
Yes I have 12,000 km's and the same issue with the brakes on my Z51. I do drag the brakes occasionally and it does fix the issue for awhile. There are pads available that are apparently better for street use for the noise and the dust. But I am wondering what performance loss occurs when you want to track it? I have not touched the brakes until I get more info too.Hey guys, I’ve got 10,000kms on my Z51 and the fricking noise the brakes make at low speeds is driving me crazy. It sounds like a garbage truck.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so what have you done to resolve it?
Looking for suggestions from those with experience.
Thanks.
Drive backwards for about a 1000 feet pumping the brakes hard... I am a licensed tech.Hey guys, I’ve got 10,000kms on my Z51 and the fricking noise the brakes make at low speeds is driving me crazy. It sounds like a garbage truck.

Just a reminder that this is actually addressed in the owners manual. Clear instructions on how to deal with it which basically amounts to doing some hard breaking at various speeds and with varying pressure. Check it out
