I'm looking for suggestions on which pads to install with the upcoming installation of the C5 front brakes.
I have new calipers, rotors, bolts etc. I just need to get pads and lines.
There seems to be a million choices. Car is mostly going to be driven on weekend cruises and some open track days. I may do an occassional Auto-X. I have Wilwood Rear Discs now.
It seems like only the GM pads come with the retainer clips. Can you get the clips from GM w/o pads? If not, I think I know what my first pads will be.

I was running Hawk pads with my C5 set up and it was very aggressive. Front bumper scrapping aggressive.

Im running ceramic pads by Dura stop and they feel a lot better.
