Brake Pads
My 07' C6 Z51 still has the original brake pads and yes, they give off a lot of brake dust. Back in 05' there was a bulletin to change the pads to a set that did not give off as much dust and they were much quieter. Does anyone have any recommendations on replacement pads for my stock C6?

If you're looking for a low dusting pad, go with ceramic. There are aftermarket pads and Gene Culley on the Forum here can get you GM ceramic for about $150. per "axle" (front/back)

I've received my ceramics from Gene already when I happened to notice that the rotors are worn down badly. Not scored or metal to metal things.. just worn badly that the outer edge area where the pad doesn't contact, is much higher...not a little. I ordered rotors from Gene yesterday.
