brakes
hey guys is it a good idea to put on the ceramic pads, will the braking decrease on my 05' z51 car? I hate the squeal and the brake dust just plain sucks on this car! Almost like driving a Mercedes Benz again, and I thought that car had really bad brake dust until owning the Vette! The squeal is bad when hot.

We just put this copper grease thing on the back side of the brake pads, and it stopped. I cannot understand why putting it on the rear side makes it any better, as its the front side that has the contact but this friend of mine is a good mechanic so i trusted him and tried. didnt charge anything anyway He also told me to avoid spraying it with a high pressure washer when washing the car to keep the grease there.
Who knows but hey it doesnt squeel anymore.
