The Hawk HPS pads are pretty good. Not too much dust unless you take them to the track either...

I am going with these you may want to look into it as well.

For the Corvette we have AC Delco Ceramic pads for $99 all 4 wheels. They have received very positive feedback with the best attribute being less dust and same performance as originals.
Shipping would be UPS Ground $7.95 and they would ship today

Total $106.95
