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.

Pros: dust was eliminated, pads preformed better
Cons: severe brake dust
Part number: 1521S

OEM pads and rotors for brakes

OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight

Pros: long lasting stock setup
Cons: less mileage after swap
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 140000 km

I’ve got an 06 350z, driven it for a year put only 5k miles but, had no problems. I also own an 05 g35 with the same DE engine and it’s got 135k and never had any major problems, and I’ve put over 110k of those miles on that car. No major repairs..1 air bag recall, I redid the clutch at 125k, had to rewire the trunk to work, and I replaced a window motor. Nothing else but, oil changes, brake jobs and battery changes. Both cars are fun to drive, and being as old as they are they cost me very little to maintain, insure, and pay minimal amount for property tax. For some perspective. Next week i’m doing the front and rear brakes on the Z. It’s gonna cost about $65-70 for parts.

Pros: no major problems, low maintenance cost
Cons: clutch replacement, trunk wiring, window motor
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 5000 km

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.

Pros: streetable, very happy
Cons: messy
Vehicle: Chevrolet

Cons: brakes wear early

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

Cons: brakes need replacement early
Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder
Mileage: 48000 km
