For eliminating dust on GS? Tired of driving around block and wheels being covered. Tried the Armoral and while it helps it is a nightmare to wash the wheels after applying that stuff to them.

Thanks for any help.

ceramic brakes.

 

I just put on Hawk ceramic pads on my 08 C6 vert and even though the stock pads were fine, I did so because of new drilled rotors. I will likely put the Hawk pads on the 10 GS. Like you, I want to get rid of the dust that quickly so that will be done at the first oil change. Hawk supplies some red lubricant for the back of the pads, be sure to use it.

 

hawk HP+ not HPS

 

going with Akebono Street Performance Ultra Premium Ceramic
in a weeks time..Thinking no squeak/no dust..

 

I had GM ceramic brake pads installed by my GM dealer to keep GM fully accountable for performance and reliability. Squeal problems and brake dust issues virtually disappeared.

GM ceramic brakes for me. No probelms on 2 different Corvettes.

 

I installed Hawk ceramic pads on my GS last week and the dust was reduced substantially. There is still dust buildup but it is now a lighter color and not that awful brown that the original pads left behind.

 

Hawk Cermanics will do the job

 

Installed GM Ceramics on my Z51 and solved the dust and squeel problems. However, don't use Ceramics if you are going to drive the car competitively on the track.

 

I've got Hawk but will eventually switch to Carbotech.

 

Just for the record, GM ceramic pads are great, but GM does not make them for the Grand Sport, which has the Z06 brakes. In this situation the Hawk ceramics are the best and we have the best price on the Hawk pads guaranteed by 10%!

I'm a huge fan of the Carbotech pads from some other cars and will try them on my Vette.

 

Low dust and not nearly as hard on rotors as ceramic pads.
