if you want to stay with GM try the '96 pads. Worked much better than my '94 orginals....

Re: c4 brake question (Ray8)

There are as many varying opinions on brake pads as there are different brands out there. I use PFZ's and they are sufficient. They aren't great for cold stops, but once they heat up they grab. But if you over cook them, they will fade out on you. Dusty as a dirt road and develop the occasional squeak for no apparent reason that goes away for no apparent reason. But, with a lifetime warranty and half the cost of GM, not a bad deal. :seeya

I'm going with the NAPA Ceramix when mine go... almost no dust and what it does leave is light colored, so it's nearly invisiable. Downside is they are pricey...

Also they will wear your rotors out quicker than stock pads.
I have the fact sheet somewhere that tells everything you need to know about the Ceramix pads. I will look for them.

I'm going to give the EBC Green Stuff a try, I think Tire Rack has them.
