Got em on today. Very happy so far. No more brake pulse and I think they look great. One question though, I did the bedding process and seemed there was a lot of brake dust. Is this normal, since I've seen many posts on these pads being mostly dust free.

Hate to disapoint you bro but those AC Delco ones are made in China too. I have a set sitting in my basement right now that I ordered from parts direct. So what does that say for "overseas crap"?

I have them on my 02 Z and put them on a friends 03 Z and are working great...........the next time you take off your Z06 Speedline wheels look at the inside it is stamped Italy and on the inside of the brake rotor its is stamped Brazil sooooooooooo back in 02 GM was not buying in the USA.
But back to the brakes I would reccomend them to anyone

The window regulator needs replacement on the pass side of my C5 and instead of paying $200 for AC Delco I went to ebay and bought one for $80.

I was skeptical but for $180 I thought I would give them a try. Fit, look, and stop fine and easy install. Dealing with the vendor was no problem. No excessive dust with ceramic pads. Many folks do not like ceramic pads but my car is not a DD and I do not track the car and I drive like a old man (most of the time). They fit my needs just fine. Wait a minute, I am a old man.

Well, another vote for Brakemotive rotors and pads. I've had them on my 99 for 3 years with no problems. I was a little surprised when I noticed the Made in China stamp on the warped, cracked GM rotors I tossed.

i only go with brand name parts thru reliable sellers I've used in the past espicaly when it comes to breaks n chase parts. its one area I'm afraid to cut corners on. just my 2 cents with my experience working on a lot of friends cars and lots of customers cars at the shop. there are some areas second rate parts are ok but some i just wouldn't take the chance

Installed a set on my '03 Z a few weeks ago, they're good enough that I bought a set for my parents' car and installed those as well. No, I'm not going to overpay for a brand name.

I would not go CHEAP when it comes to brakes and rotors!
When you have to stop at 150mph, are you just going to cross your fingers and hope all goes well?
Never go cheap with safety!

Wish I had seen this before I ordered a set from another forum vendor almost 2 weeks ago, which I must say have not shipped yet. I am tempted to cancel order and go with these. I am not sure I want ceramic pads though, I use my car daily,
