Advice on brake pads
What are you LS1 guys running. I am swapping the complete LS1 car braking system next week and I need to get pads. I'm using the stock rotors and calipers if this makes a difference. Any info is appreciated.

To be honest .. AutoZone "el-cheapo" pads and rotors have served me well.

Get ceramic pads, they are high performnace pads, ike NAPA or AutoZone would have them. ceramic emit almost no brake dust and they stop pretty good. I still have the stock pads in the back and they are making more brake dust then my front wheels. Which is wierd....

Quiet Stops are good. But next time I am going back to stock. Less dusting.
