Hi Everyone, Have you replaced your brake pads with ceramic? Which brand did you use? I have heard of Hawk and Tru Stop. They will be put on a Grand Sport.
Thanks

With my C6 (and plan to do the same with my C7 Z51) I used AutoZone Gold ceramic. Those that track their car or are purests will criticism me but they functioned just fine. I did all 4 corners for under $100 (dealer wanted $1100+, just pads).

Great how to on this site!

PowerStop is one of the more popular choices on the C7 for aftermarket pads. They have both ceramic and semi-metallic pads available.

If you want a quality aftermarket pad I recommend the Carbotech 1521 pad 100% made in the USA. A low dust pad that is rotor friendly and performs like OEM and last longer. 100% non-corrosive dust will not harm your paint or wheels. This pad also contains NRS technology. Carbotech uses NRS technology on all C4, C5, C6 & C7 front and rear brake pads.

Here is a link to explain further what NRS technology is exactly: http://www.nrsbrakes.com
