      Disc brake pad upgrade options

      So*in the spirit of "good is never good enough"... I'm looking to possibly upgrade my brake pads from the factory GM pads. I have the Baer C4 vette system.

      Stop Tech? Hawks? Other?



      I want better grab than factory, but I don't want noisy/squealing*brakes. Brake pad life is a don't care obviously*since my mileage is very low.

      I can tell you from experience, the Hawk HPS pads are noisy and dusty, but they grip like King Kong!

      If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

      Thanks. Since I don't race the car, I'm not too worried about brake fade or anything like that, so strong initial bite is at near the top for priority.
