I'm in need of replacing my front brake pads, I'm sure the rears are ok still. My ? Is which pads work best for my c6. For the most part it's close to stock, nothing wild to require excessive pads and all. Eventually I do want to put a z-51 brake package on it if I can find a good used one. But for now I'm needing pads. I was looking at the hawk pads. I used these on my excursion and loved them. But if these are the ones to go with, which version works best. And if anyone has any reccomendations on who is best, as far as price, to get them from then I'm all ears. Thanks for the help guys, and keep the vettes in the front.

I spent a little more & went with the Carbotech Bobcat 1521 for the street

 

For your driving, I would recommend Hawk HPS (Street pads).

They are awesome on the street, are extremely good for AutoX,
Produce no dust, and no squeal.

And they will last a pretty good length of time.

And they are not really expensive.

 

I've been reading here that the HPS are more dusty than the OEMs.

 

I have HPS on my '07 Z51 Autox/HPDE car (I change pads for HPDE).
No dust
I have them on my '01 SS Camaro DD.
No dust
I have them on my wifes G35 Coupe DD.
No dust

 

Hawk HPS here too, noticed decrease in dust over stock pads, immediately.

 

Take a look at the carbotech 1521 we have alot of members using these
