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.
No. Looks perfectly normal.
I have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.
Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.
Carbotech has served me very well on my M6
I run carbotech 12/10 on my C5. Streetable but messy. I only really drive to track, on track, then home. Probably drive 100 street/leisure miles a year, but after 2 track days on this setup (wilwood aero6 in front) I’m very happy with the setup.
I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
My S4 needed brakes at around 30k. I had a couple dealerships price it out and it was about that.
Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.
