    CT4-V Non OEM brake pads

    I want to change the brake pads as the dust is crazy. When going to a pad that doesn't have the sensor, is there a light on the dash that comes on? If so, does it stay on? Probably going to go with Power Stop Z23-405 and Z26-1053 as I believe these will fit correctly but no sensor. Any help...

    CT5-BW Brake Wear

    ...wear quicker on these type of cars because of how the drivers "beat" on them. First of all, I don't "beat" on my car and I think he was just trying to upsell me on brake pads. **** When it is time for brake pads, are the GM stock pads any good or should I look for something better ? Thanks.

    Nice! Yeah it’s crazy how filthy my wheels get from daily driving it from all the brake dust. Definitely might go with the Ceramic Brake pads because of that. Now I’m debating whether to stick with iron rotors or switching to carbon ceramic rotors. Thanks again for your inputs.

I’ll be needing new brake pads and rotors soon - can anyone please tell me if I need special rotors to run ceramic brake pads? Or will stock rotors be fine? Also was wondering...

    Brake Pad Question - Street Use

    Wondering if there are opinions on the DBA SP-SD Street Performance Brake Pads. I'm sure anybody searching has seen them on the kns website for dirt cheap. I'm just looking for something that for the 51 weeks a year will stop the car, and have a lot less dust. 95% of this car's life are...

    big thumbs up for the Ferodo DS2500. The GT350 has those as stock pads. Fantastic dual use pads good street manners and holds up very well on track even on a heavy car. Brake dust is same as other similar pads.

    I've tried the ferodo DS 2500 and they're really good because I used them as my track brake pads back in the day on my Scion FRS which is now known as the Toyota gr86 or Subaru BRZ.

    Detroit Axle???🤔

    ...I’m seeing commercials about brake rotors and pads from them lately. Now after looking at Amazon (during Prime Day), Amazon started selling them. I’m curious to know if anybody has ever used their break parts whether rotors and or brake pads. We all now how infamous the brake dust is on our...

    If your BW is street-only and you’re looking to cut down on brake dust, the Carbotech 1521 pads are a great option. I’ve been running them on my 5BW for about a month and a half, and brake dust is down by roughly 80%. The pads even come slotted for the wear sensors.

    If you do only occasional tracking and don’t run race tires then the DS2500 are the right pad for you. I cannot speak to the brake dust compared to stock CT4 pads as I have a CT5 with the carbon ceramic rotors. But on my GT350 the brake dust seemed similar to other pads.

    Steel Brake Rotor Life

    ...me a full rotor/pad replacement for about $600 in labor, excluding parts costs. I actually have already purchased all of the rotors and brake pads, but I am debating whether it is all really needed right now, especially the rotor. Pads are probably needed, but I'm not sure what I should do...

    CT4 Blackwing at Sonoma

    Have you done brake pads yet? Go with a full race on front(non-street) and an aggressive street pad for the back. They make a big difference when trying to push back your braking points. Supposedly your not supposed to use race pads on the street, but I'm finding them to be fine for daily...

    Thanks for sharing. I like how you mentioned that the Ferodo DS2500 is good for both street driving and is fair for the track, as that’s what I’m going for. Now, I wonder if it has less or more brake dust than the OEM ones?

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    CarboTech 1521? :unsure:

    I’m leaning towards the DS2500 since you’ve previously mentioned that it’s a great pad for both street and track use. As Super Saloon mentioned above, I’ll just ceramic coat my wheels so the brake dust comes off easier. That’ll solve worries with brake dust.

    Thanks for sharing. Wow! 80% less brake dust…that’s a big difference. Now I’m debating on whether I should get the Ferodo DS2500 (for street and track use) or the Carbotech 1521 (for significantly less brake dust). Have you or anyone else used the Carbotech 1521 on the track?
