brake recommendation
What brakes do you recommend for a C7 Grand Sport? Possibly low dust preferred.

I put the Hawk pads on my Z06 like the pads Ron Fellows used, virtually no dust, I used the Yellow Box Pad set.

Powerstop. Started with Hawk all around but had a strange clicking sound that Hawk could not figure out. Put the Powerstops on the front. No dust and quiet. Also replaced the Brembo pads on my RCF with Powerstop with the same results.

Confused by people saying ceramic not good for track, but watch a YouTube video about C6’s and the ZR1 comes with ceramic brakes.
