Brake Pads ...What do you use?
Didn't know where to post this so here goes.
What brake pads are you guys running? I need something that will offer good performance, but not wear the powerslot rotors too bad.
What do you suggest?

Good link. FWIW, I've got ceramic pads on my TA at the moment that came from Pep Boys. My new front brakes are from a Z06 with the Speed Specialty brackets. I've got another set of ceramic pads for them that I got from GM Parts Direct.

Re: Brake Pads ...What do you use?
A GREAT place for your question is in the Autocross and Road Racing section.
Hawk HPS pads. That's what I'm going with after my stockers are shot.
Do a search, and I think that you'll get a lot of positive feedback.

Re: Brake Pads ...What do you use?
AMEN!! I have the NAPA Ceramix aswell, both front and rear. They are some of the greatest pads I've ever purchased. I went about 3 weeks without washing my car, I know I'm bad but I was busy!, anyway, the rims were still nice and clean. I think I paid something like 40 for the front and 50 for the rear. I'll have to look at the receipt but I got it through work and was able to get a really good discount.

I use Napa Ceramix pads on my 96SS. I like those the best... they dust very little but still stop the car pretty darn good!

I put napa ceramix on mine this weekend, I cycled them some(not sure if its necesary, but I always do it) and I tried stopping from 60, and it stops great! Highly recommend them.
