Default Re: Need Brake Pad Recommendation

Thanks once again to all of you who helped me make the choice and also to those of you who then confirmed by your own experience that I made the right choice. My Hawk HSP pads will arrive on Tuesday, and hopefully On Wednesday I'll be able to install them. I'll post once more to this thread with my impressions of these pads once I've burnished them in and driven on them a bit.

Hi,

I am a little late on this post but for what it's worth I have had excellent results with EBC Green Stuff pads. I used them for the last 4 years on my 87 L98 Vette. They worked well regardless of the driving conditions. Rain, Snow, Salt and what ever mother nature threw at me. The pads are rotor friendly and wear very well. No Squeeks at all.

I am sure you will like the Hawks as they are excellent pads as well.

Regards,

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since I installed the Hawk HPS pads on my '90 ZR-1 and I'm very happy with them. They are much more grippy than anything I had on it before, and they seem to improve in this respect the more I drive with them on the car.
I was thinking about C5 brakes for the front, but like some others of you I've decided to hold off on that thanks to the new Hawk pads. Oh yeah, I don't see that much brake dust from them either. Thanks again for all your input.
