Default Rotors and pads

Wanting to buy Baer Eradispeed two piece Rotors for front and rear on my 98 C5. Street use only. What pads should I get and where is the best deal.

Thanks

I've got the Baers on my '05 Coupe, and they're great!

I think the stock pads would be fine on the street. I put on Hawk HPS for street driving and liked them - low dust and no squealing.

I have the eradispeeds ~ run stock pads and have experienced no problems ~ but have experienced great breaking! Some will claim they are noisy ~ an ocassional squeak, but no big deal IMO.

I've been using Porterfield R4Ss on the street for quite a few years. Even on my truck .
While you're in there you might also flush the brake system with Motul RBF600.
I did some 110-0 tests on a closed runway last weekend and got some pedal fade with the stock fluid.

I run GM ceramic pads because I hate cleaning wheels.

Anyone tried EBC Yellowstuff yet? I'll be due for pads before long and have been leaning toward these.
