Brake pads Carbotech or Bendix
If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.
I had the same problem with my c8 z51, I switched to the Carbotech 1521 pads and they solved the problem. Would definitely recommend
Id search for bendix. They work great and leaves little to no brakedust on my rims. Brembo is shit they leaves fuckton of brakedust and wears quick
I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.
I’ve ran the Bendix GCT pads in my daily for years.
Minimal dust and good lifespan, and they work as they should.
I’d prefer them over the likes of Bosch and Protex.
Regular DBA's (street model?) i was getting 40k kms, the Bendix heavy duty's i was getting nearly double that. Never had an issue with them.
Brembo or Akebono. Makalat sa brake dust yung Bendix at marami rin fake.
Bendix gets the job done for its cheap price. May mannotice ka lang na noise when braking from time to time but still walang slippage whatsoever.
Nissin, akebono, brembo maganda. Pag budget friendly LKC or Hi-Q pwede na. Pass sa bendix
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
