I'm very happy with the GM ceramic brake pads. I had them installed at a GM Chevrolet dealership. Brake dust reduced 90%+, and it doesn't cling to the wheels if you use ArmorAll Wheel Protectant spray; they also eliminated all brake squeal. I don't track my car, but braking performance is excellent under all conditions most drivers will ever experience

Ok... I got all 4 at NAPA....They stop great, make no noise, and very little dust... and they were not $$$ They were really nice and the only ones that said they would not squeak....They have my vote.
Mine are Wearever Premium Ceramic Pads. Virtually no dust. I don't know if they are the best, but I'm very happy with mine. You can order them from Advanceautoparts.com.
The name on the box I still have is Parts Master. My Corvette Club bought several sets theu a salesman in the club. I have no idea where from. They have given me no problem whatsoever in 3 years use. I wish Chevrolet would make Ceramic Pads an option when we order the cars. It would be one less thing to do whenever I trade cars.....
took the Hawk pads off my 08 3LT vert. they were noisy and overall nothing to rave about. Put on GM ceramic and GM cross-drilled roters and I am very happy. Little dust, stop great and quiet.

Carbotech 1521 will out perform any Ceramic brake pad hands down.
I agree. Recently replaced the GM ceramics that had begun squealing horribly with my Z51 rotors. Also replaced the rotors with Baers. Everything's now ultra-quiet, dust-free, and very beautiful. Not cheap, though.
Carbotech 1521 will out perform any Ceramic brake pad hands down. Give me a call to place an order.

500.00 for pads? what is your profit margin with this sale?
good god, it's not like there is any more technology put into a corvette pad over say a chev P-30 chassis. come on!
C6 Z06 One Piece pad for the front and rear stock calipers (PBR Calipers). We were the first to release the padlets almost four years ago, and then we were the first to release the One Piece over 3 years ago. That design that we worked with GM on wasn't perfect. That's the same design you see other companies using now.
We set out to redesign the new One Piece all on our own. We wanted to make sure it was perfect and even more user friendly. This design will drop right into the caliper and you don't have to take out the caliper pins or spring clips. The spring clips are critical in keeping the brake pad square to the rotor surface and ensuring that the pads slide smoothly along the pins. The spring clips also assist in reducing the noise inside the caliper.
This one piece will make changing pads a lot faster and easier. The Carbotech One Piece will give longer pad life and a little more bite as well. We are molding the One Piece pad just like we do with all the C6, C5, and C4 brake pads.
We are also using industry leading NRS technology. If you're not familiar with NRS technology it gives molded pads up to 8 times stronger sheer strength vs. conventional molded brake pads and riveted pads. NRS technology also helps in reducing noise and vibration of the brake pad inside the caliper as well as aiding in longer wearing pads. We use NRS technology on all C6 & C5 front and rear brake pads.

Honestly, if you are that uninformed about break pad compounds and the performance differences, then stick with a $100 set.
