I have not changed pads on Z06 yet but did on my 92 coupe. Very good results... Raybestos is very high quality pads. They are far superior to Bendix. If you are not going to use OEM than use Raybestos......... jrd

Raybestos is a quality brand. I ran a set of Raybestos front pads and liked the stock ones better. I didn't like to compound they used since cold stops were not as good as GM's and the kicker is when they got hot, they didn't stop any better. Plus they dusted more. I was glad to run those out and go back to stock.

I'm not saying Raybestos sucks though. I've worked at a couple auto part stores and very few Raybestos pads and shoes came back for lining problems where other brands had some issues where the lining would come off the backing, the compound broke up etc.
