Your thumbnail stating "never have Brake /Dust Again" is what caught my eye. To me the only "Never have Brake Dust again is with the Carbon Ceramic Brake setup. I'd like to see a comparison in order to become a believer if that's possible. Thanks in advance Mike. Save the Wave 🙋‍♂

[@BrinkofSpeed]

These will be really good to eliminate brake dust, but maybe not as good as ceramic pads and rotors. He’s already put 100 miles on them though and you can’t see any dust on the wheels.

[@petercarey6883]

Thanks Mike. I went with the Hawk brake pads that everyone recommends, but I still get the dust. It's a different lighter color so it's not so noticeable, but dust is dust. I may just have try his pads. Save the Wave🙋‍♂

[@regsmith7604]

I had R1 concepts cross drilled slotted rotors, front and rear, on my ‘08 coupe, with PosiQuiet extreme duty ceramic pads back in ‘12. I learned to put a little never 👎🏽 seize on the face of the hub to keep the rotor from sticking. R1 concepts, them youngsters are into it.👍🏽

[@billmiller8782]

Should also remind people, if they plan on working on the brakes - especially removal of the calipers --- to disconnect the battery 1st - as the car could go into a auto-brake check at any time and possible hurt / injury them - especially if they have there fingers in / amoung the pads when the car does an auto pressure test , etc.

[@pkincy]

There was a lot of discussion in Corvette Forum in C7Z days whether to use Carbotech or Power Stop. I used Carbotech on my C7Z and Powerstop on my ATS-V. Same caliper by the way. I figured at the time, why use $100 worth of brake pads on a 110,000 car so I use $550 worth of brake pads. Move forward to my CT4-V BW and I used Powerstops again. Frankly they do everything the Carbotechs do at 1/5th the price. Also definitely ceramic coat the wheels inside and out when you have them off to do the brake pads.

[@garys5138]

Guys - I did this on my 2005 Z51 in 2011 and I seem to recall that the Helms Corvette service manual said with factory rotors to make index marks relative to orientation on the hub anytime rotors are removed. Obviously that would apply to replacing pads without replacing rotors, but the service manual also said maximum runout at an 8” radius must not exceed 0.002”. If the service manual still says to make index marks on rotor orientation, that made me wonder if the factory uses an on-the-car brake lathe as a final cut on OEM rotors during assembly at Bowling Green. Maybe I was overthinking this, but I had a hell of a time getting all four rotors oriented at 0.002” or less runout with both the new Centric cross drilled and slotted rotors and/or the old rotors. I had about 30,000 miles on the dusty semi metallic Z51 pads and rotors, so I spent several hours cleaning the rust and debris from mating surfaces on the hubs to get my runout at or below 0.002” with the new rotors. Rotate a rotor just one lug bolt in orientation, and the runout changed dramatically. Well, perhaps “dramatically” is a stretch, but at 186 mph I began to worry about why the engineers were that fussy limiting runout to 0.002”. Maybe someone else has run into this wide variation in runout when re-orienting a rotor just a few degrees relative to the hub? The ceramic pads indeed got rid of the brake dust on my C6. I am not looking forward to doing this again at 81 years old with my new 2024 C8.

Hi guys I did the exact same procedure. After my car went into limp mode for the brakes. Could drive over certain speed. BRAKE system warning lights code errors.

Its been a problem with some convertibles and they haven't got a fixed. The rear window doesn't come down and the convertible doesn't operate, the tonneau lid does works up and down... thats it. Maybe you guys can help me out or find out who can. Im in central Florida(Orlando)

[@markward9712]

On my brother’s 22 z51 the front pads where glued on and took a minutes to get off.

[@nrdemon1031]

Most have said that, mine as you saw practically fell out. But my car also had very few miles.

[@williamorton7600]

Yep, mine were glued on [2100 miles]. Managed to cut the piston boot trying to separate the piston and pad. Luckily piston boots are simple to swap out. But when the piston falls out, if you didn't pull the battery cable, then you're screwed. You get air in that corner. Can't bleed it with battery cable connected. On the positive side, now I know how to pressure bleed C8 brakes.

[@kurtthomas4746]

Nice video, I changed my brake pads on our C8, 2012 C6 , 2021 TRX, all to Power stop Z26 or Z23s, both great pads 80-90% less brake dust, made the carbon tech pads are better for track, but as daily driver, the power stops, a lot less$$ and work great. Keep up the good work guys.

Pads under $500 and Rotors about the same if you choose to upgrade. Total is $1,000

[@cassiespencer6134]

My C7 ZR1 generates virtually no brake dust which I attribute in large part to the carbon ceramic rotors and OEM brake pads. In fact I can swipe a finger across one after driving and there's no dust on my finger tip. Whereas on my dad's C6 ZR1 there is since it has steel rotors.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

Yep, carbon ceramic rotors and pads are an amazing combination!

[@garyblakely3000]

I installed ceramic brake pads on my 2010 GS when it was new. It reduced brake dust ~80% and still does. But I did not change rotors. Why did they change rotors in this video?

[@nrdemon1031]

Looks, drilled and slotted vs. plain oem rotors.

[@sabruce01]

Love the video. I have a '23 Z51 and I noticed you have the same R1 rotors for both the front and rear. Isn't the rear rotor larger in diameter than the front?

[@Dav1d_Fi5h]

Hopefully Darren has better luck with R1 Concepts rotors than I have. My experience with those on a different car is that they warp too easily. I would not recommend them for anything beyond normal street driving, and especially not for track driving. If I were you, I would have chosen Powerstop rotors if they're an option for the c8, because I have used their blank rotors with the Powerstop Track Day pads on my current car (not a Corvette), and those rotors held up AMAZINGLY well with the performance of those pads. Otherwise, thank you for showing how this is done. I thought the rear calipers having removable pins vs the front calipers not having removable ones was unexpected.

[@BrinkofSpeed]

I hope so too. He won’t be tracking his car so it shouldn’t be an issue. They learned after doing the driver side rear, that they could do it that way, so we filmed it that way. You can do the fronts that way too.

[@phetdiamondc8802]

I saw some Video on KZbin the guy changed the break pads and got all break light came on. Do you have to disconnect the battery first so you won’t get the break light warning. That what I’m afraid of if I change mine out. I got z51 break pad And I hate it to much dust.

I dont know how big of an issue is to deal with the break dust in order to replace disks and pads because I own a regular stingray which I drive every day and i may track 2 or 3 times and the regular stingray set up is perfect for that, but you need a Z51 if you are a hardcore track person,and it’s not your daily, the z51 comes with bigger breaks and rotors and stickies tires to grip better at 150+ mph but only last about 7000 mi are very expensive and can’t be used on wet or cold days and are barely streets legal and on top of that you have to deal with excessive dust I really don’t see the need for a Z51 if you’re going to track it once in a while, you regular stingray brakes will last about 3-4 track days while the Z51 will last about 7-8 track days and there’s also the issue with the different oil brake and the oil hoses that need to be replaced if you plan to track a non Z51 more than 3-4 times
