Brake Pad question

mine are getting due to be replaced, and i was looking at hawk performance ceramic pads. Are these a good pad for a daily driven car that will be bracket raced next year? Also, do we need anything special for tools on a LT1?

3/8s hex wrench or 3/8s hex socket...... Socket is easier.....

Dont know about Hawk pads.... I use Raybestos gold ceramic pads...

my hawk ceramic pads are coming in this week for my C5 Z06 brake upgrade.

from the reviews i've read they seem to be good pads, and hawk is a very trusted brand.

n2ceptor is right about the socket, go buy 3/8 allen head socket from your local parts store, makes life a lot easier cuz you can get some torque on those bolts instead of bending allen wrench after allen wrench.
