Z06 brake install question.
I'm doing a conversion on my truck with c6 z06 brakes. Using hawk street pads. They didn't come with lube. What do you guys recommend? Advance auto generic crap? Not tracking the truck just a weekend warrior. LOL!
Do you all lube the guide pins?
Thanks guys!

Ok Rick just checked out the install thread! Great info however I noticed that the OP pads came with shims. I was under the impression they didn't. Do I need them or were those aftermarket shims in the thread?
Also people said use blue loctite and I've also heard red. I was planing on just using antiseize. Everything is brand new so want to do it right the first time.
