Hawk HPS are nice for street driving...if you want something a little more aggressive try the HP+. I autocross with HPS's all the way around. You might look into the LS1 brake upgrade at the same time the parts sell for around $250 off a wrecked car.

IMO unless u X-cross or somthing like that I would get the factory pads. I got 63k out of mine, they stop on a dime, and long as u wash your car like I do brake dust isnt an issue, with chrome wheels anyways. I'm sure jason cromer can get u some for bout 50-70 bucks, not sure on that though. They are some thick a$$ pads!!

My EBC's dont make a peep. They are silent and made of kevlar and they stop very very well. THey say they "virtually eliminate" brake dust. Well they do reduce dust for sure. However I wouldnt say the "virtually eliminate" it but they are impressive. I recommend them. Oh BTW if u have 5 stars or another open style rim where the brake calipers show, You will see the pads and they are in fact GREEN. Hence the name. So just be aware that you will have green showing..Personaly I think it gives the car attitude lol.
