@sox3 Looking forward to you report on dust and performance of these pads. Cleaning the wheels is the most time consuming and annoying aspect of the car (for me).
Z26 pads shouldn’t cut down on dust, it should all but just about eliminate it at little expense to street driving performance. A very worthwhile trade.
Had the car out today for a combination highway and backroad 180 mile drive. What a difference in the amount of brake dust, hardly any at all on the wheels. I like the performance of the Z26 pads as well.

Broke my toe this time on the right, thought I could drive it using the postop shoe, but don’t have the feel I need primarily for the brake, gas was also a bit touchy, thought it was gonna only be 4 weeks but follow up x Ray suggests I need 4 more weeks, it’s the best time to drive her, just sucks

How would you compare performance?
My ‘19 stops scary fast as you already know. How do the new pads compare?

Diode dynamics led sequential front turns with daytime running lights option and ZL1addons front tow hook since I had the front end ripped apart anyways. What a pain in the ass but she looks sweet

A little less bite but it still stops great.
Hey George, I'm following your lead. Today I ordered the
Caliperfexion 17-4PH Stainless Stud Kit, with the extensions and the PowerStop Z26 Extreme Front and Rear pads.
Looks like its working for OK you. Thanks for your input.

Definitely looks GREAT ! I have to tear mine apart to install the Shelby LED Fog Light / Marker Light Kit.
I was hopeful that it would arrive when the car was torn apart while the stripes were being painted on, no such luck.
Also I really dig your style of Shelby letters on the front. Where did you "procure" those beauties ? I have only noticed the solid letters.

We’ll see how tired I get cleaning wheels every other drive. Brake dust erodes the finish on your wheels. Don’t let it just sit there.

So glad I can finally join this thread: Though it wasn't "today", yesterday I finally took official ownership of my Shelby and drove it! Put around 55 miles on it; most of those with my youngest son who just turned 4.

We both had a blast, and it was almost as entertaining watching and listening to him as it was to drive the car lol.

In terms of the ZL1 tow hook install, I've heard that it can be installed without removing the front fascia by undoing the belly pan. But then I've also heard that to remove the belly pan you have to remove the front splitter. But it appears that you can remove the front fascia without removing the front splitter (since your front fascia is off with the splitter installed), so shouldn't it also be possible to remove the belly pan without removing the splitter? Unless the belly pan is still attached to the front fascia in your picture?
