If staying stock then heed the advice above. If you want a "different" type of pad for one reason or another then do a search on brake threads. NAPA Ceramix, Green Stuff, PFZ, Hawk...yadda yadda.. :seeya

I'm a big fan of the Bendix brand. No sqeaks, stops on a quarter. :D And that's because I've bled the fronts, no time for the backs yet. After I finish the back. It'll stop on the dime...

Hawk makes great pads at a very reasonable price. You can find these pads at Vette Brakes and Products. I put a set on my '89 last year, and I have been very happy with them. The dealer wanted about $150 for the front pads on my car and VB&P had them for $99 as I recall. I would at least give those guys a call, they could perhaps recomend a cheaper pad based on the kind of driving you do. Lastely, I decided on the Hawk pads after I noticed that when Vette, or Corvette Fever mag. does a break upgrade they use Hawks.
