I need to change the pads and rotors. Just wondering what everyone runs on their LS1s? I've heard Hawks pads are crappy, that they make a lot dust. What do you guys run, or have run in the past? Was thinking of getting slotted rotors as well.

slots are just for looks. i have slotted right now although i don't plan on deviating from good blanks in the future.

if you take your car to road tracks i would consider the xp8 from this list. if you don't then i think the ax6 will be more than good enough.
I have been very happy with my powerslots and hawks on my silverado. SS still has original rotors and factory replacement pads the dealer put on before I bought it in 01 and they suck. Needs brake uprgrade badly.
Mr Bones: Whoever you knew with the LT1 that was unhappy with the dust from the Hawks probably got the wrong compound pad. The severe duty ones create a shitton of dust.
Yeah I plan to get the SS into some road course racing/autoxing, nothing competitive yet, but that is the route I want to go. Thanks for the link, I'm interested in the xp8s.
