Brake Qestion
Can anyone give me a little advice on what brake pads to put on my vette. I will be changing the pads on my 2000 coupe and am debating what kind to buy. I hear ceramic is less dust but not quite the bite of oem pads. Prices and possible places to get the good price would also be nice.
Thanks

PFC-Z pads from Autozone. Not ceramic, low dust and noise - better then OEM bite. Very good pad IMHO About $210 a set

Contact Gene at Fred Beans Chevy - he usually runs specials on GM ceramic pads and may have OEM pads at a good price too.
