I would not recommend them. I ran them and took them off early. They dust very little white dust, but they stop bad (take a lot of pressure) and they warped my rotors.

HAWK HPS brake pads are the best I have used. They dust little (less than stock C5 Pads) and stop GREAT !

Got mine from Gene too. They have a little less stopping power, but OK for me. I love not having all that brake dust on the wheels too. I changed to drilled and slotted rotors, and eliminated the squeeks and the pulsing I had with the other pads and rotors too. Several thousand miles, and I'm very happy.

Buy them from Gene www.gmpartshouse.com they work fine...
bed them in properly and you should have no glazing issues ( aka warped rotors)
