I'm using EBC Red pads on mine and I love them. Stopping power is great and they produce zero brake dust. You can get them at Oriley's auto parts. Cost wasn't too bad either.

The yellow compound claims to be race material, but with excellent cold bite...

So are they any better than red compound for street, or is it just marketing BS?

I'm trying to find some pads as well...

Can't decide if Carbotech Bobcat, Hawk HPS, or EBC is the way to go.

Figured I'd bring this thread back up a few posts rather than create yet another brake pad thread. Didn't see many direct comparison opinions in my searching.

These pads will be used with C5 Z06 calipers, but not on a C5
Just a slightly heavier GM. With front wheel drive.
