Brake pad advise please

2004 Vette Vert. Non Z06

I'm gonig to be replacing my brake pads in the comming month and would like some adise on which to buy.

I found these GM OEM pads:
C5 Corvette Ceramic Brake Pads Set Delco GM OEM

I have also seen Hawk brake pads pop up over and over again.

I'm just a regular driver. Nothing special. In fact I baby my vete when I drive it.

Would the OEM pads work fine? Should I go with Hawk? If so which kind of HAwk pads should I buy? IS there a better brand out there for my Vette?

You can buy Hawk's for a great price compared to the factory and you'll get more for your money. Of course, I'll sell you the factory pads or Hawk's, but I would go with the Hawk's.

If you're looking for low dust and low noise then I woud get the Hawk Performance Ceramic. If you're looking for a little more bite than stock then I would get the Hawk HPS.

Here is a link to our sales thread and let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Gene.

I like my Hawk HPS pads. Great stopping, no noise,a lot lower dust than OEM.
