What would you recommend in a one piece pad for a street driven car, with the lowest amount of dust and noise but hopefully not $500-$600 for a set of pads?

How do the KNS compare to the Wilwood rotor/caliper sets for the ZO6 in terms of weight loss? I think swapping to Wilwood rotor/caliper fronts saves somewhere around 25 lbs from oem.

If you're dead set on one piece good luck not spending a bunch. Powerstop otherwise for the lowest dusting. I run Carbotech 1521 fronts and they dust much less than oem. I paid around 500 and would do the Powerstops if I could do it again to save a few hundred for a street driven car.

Honestly it isn't that big of a deal, it just seems easier. What series of powerstop do you recommend for a low dust, low noise street pad?

The KNS rotors weigh roughly the same as an OEM rotor.

Hawk ceramic pads are similar in performance to the Carbotech pads and are available in a 1 piece design.

About $375 for front and rear.
