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 just installed Hawk ceramic pads and they have been great both with stopping and producing almost no dust.

 

I went with GM ceramic pads on my '06 and I'm very happy with them.

www.partstaxi.com, a supporting vendor here on the forum sells them for a reasonable price and has good customer service:

GM Part # 88909667 for Fronts
GM Part # 88909668 for Rears

 

I went with the GM pads about 2300 miles ago and they hve performed great, no noise and little dust.

 

 

 

Delco ceramics from Gene.. Same as above, no noise and very little dust

 

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.

 

did mine last year. NO dust!

Thanks for the referals!!!! I do have those pads in stock if anyone else needs them.
Thanks
