if you run them on blanks they aren't bad. on slotted...probably bad

there is no such thing as performance and ultra low dust...so...a guy has to chose how much dust he can live with

on the street that's basically ceramic to hp+ with a few good choices in the middle

I actually still have my original stock brakes (pads and rotors on my 04). After a good cleaning and drive, there is already a thin coat of brake dust on the wheels. But no biggie, just a little microfiber towel and some quik detailer and all cleaned up!!

When I get new pads, I'll probably go for the stock AC Delco Z06 pads or Hawk (the ones that closely match the stock Z06 pads), whichever is cheaper at the time.
