Brake pad advice
Hey Guys I just bought a set of D/S rotors for the Z and was curious as to what pads to run? I am not planning on tracking the car, just want a set that is as dust free as possible and good quality. I tried the search but it said there was some sort of problem. Thanks for any advice.

the ceramics have had mixed reviews from what ive been reading. Some like it and others hate it and made no difference in dust. $118 for a set of pads isnt bad enough to try. Besides if you dont like em, you can sell em here.

Click on the link, and then copy and paste the part number on the Search field that says "enter part number" on the upper left corner
I entered the part number for the fronts, ( 88909667 ) and it came out to $57.84 not including shipping.
You may also try Fred Beans and ask him the price for these ceramic brakes. I understand he has some great prices on GM parts.

Also, if you want to, check the Mountain Prairie Forum on this board. Scroll down and you'll see it. I posted a couple of links for upcoming events for this Summer
