Incredible bite and performance, but they dust like crazy and eat rotors. The dust also is the kind that sticks to everything and won't come off (including paint). My fender behind the front wheels needs paint correction (clay & polish) from it. Would not recommend.

No, Z26 isn't meant for/won't hold up to track use.

Go with the G-LOCs I recommended.

Yes and they won't eat your rotors like they're pizza.

gotcha. so stock rotors and g-locs and the air duct for them ad i should be good then right?
That's about as good as it gets without going to the Brembos. The rotor design alone is a big improvement over the base GT brakes in terms of cooling.

Rear pads? G-locs or the comparable Carbotechs are still the easy go-to answers.

i saw ur other post with thr picture of the rotor being eaten up, even though they eat the rotors and that sticky dust u mentioned are they any good at the track? i mea for.the price of the kit being 250 thats still.cheaper than a set of brake pads from.glocs

I think the picture you saw was Bmac's. But I've had similar experience with Hawk's HP+. Good bite, horrible rotor wear, to the point where the money you might save vs G-locs/Carbotechs gets spent on more rotors.
