My brake pads squeak a little. What pads do you recommend, with the least amount of brake dust? I'll change all 4.

Depending on your driving needs, if you are just needing a street pad.

You can go with a ceramic pad compound.

GM has some
Some had good results with the duralast gold pads. ( I was not one of them, but some on this forum have had good results.) they are inexpensive.

I have carbotech 1521, I like them, but they are not cheap.

Hawk Performance Ceramic is what was recommended to me and I'm waiting for them to arrive. I don't track or street race my car, but I do have a little fun with it every now and then.

Look at the Carbotech 1521 pad very low dust quiet and still has the braking performance you expect from your corvette. The 1521 is a ceramic based compound that also contains carbon and Kevlar. The 1521 is also 100% non corrosive will not harm your wheels or paint. Not the cheapest pad on the market but you pay for what you get.

I put on some generic ceramic pads I got with new rotors. Got some squeak for a while, but it went away. They are all made to a high standard. Just put new ceramic pads on the rear of my wife's Lexus and only paid $24.00 through PEP Boys.

I'll tell you Wagner ceramics suck bad. lol
I'm getting the carbotech 1521s from Amp'd myself. I plan to do dba rotors as well. Should be a nice upgrade.

Hawk HPS pads! This is one area I will not go "cheap" on. I've used Hawk on all my cars, GTO's, SS Camaros, etc. and through TireRack
