New brake set-up question...
I'm going with the Baer +1 set-up next week. I do not Auto Cross my car so I was told don't bother going with Hawk pads because of the additional noise and dust. This vendor recommended the stock GM pads...
First question: Should I stay with current pads (Have about 10 miles on them)?
Change over to new GM Pads?
Go with another company pads?
What should I do with the brake fluid? Change? If so to what?

Re: New brake set-up question... (Nitro-C5)
If you're happy with your current pads, I'd stay with them, unless your old rotors are really badly scratched. I don't see any reason to discard pads with so few miles unless the old rotors have damaged them. If you're mechanically inclined, I'd say flush your brake fluid for extra protection since it sounds like you run the car at high speeds occasionally. Its probably not necessary if you don't want to hassel with it, but I would change it out if it were me.
