Time for new brakes, so I am going with the Hawk ceramics for daily use. What rotors would make the most sense?

Keep in mind that I will swap rotors and pads for track days. This is purely for commuting and leisure drives. I'd like a balance of cost and performance.

Ive had the R1 Premium slotted and drilled with the Hawk ceramics on 25k miles and there is not a squeak to be heard. Look good and perform flawlessly.

how's the dusting with those pads?

Stock rotors make the most sense with ceramic pads. For a more track appropriate pad compound, some of the fancier rotors options with slots would be better.

We unfortunately do not offer those front 2-piece rotors for your ZL1 but we do offer the CTS-V rotors as a replacement that I've sold to members who have a ZL1. Only downside is that they're not 2-piece rotors and not directional.
