Gonna be upgrading my brakes to LS1s and need to order pads. Anybody have any advice on which pads I should get?

Thanks!!!

Get ceramic if you don't care about stopping faster but want no dust, and get the Hawks if you want to stop better and don't mind a little more dust.

Also, if you want better stopping, make sure you have decent tires too.

Haha.... I hated my Ceramic pads. They were terrible until you build up a decent amount of heat. In the rain, they wouldn't bite at all....... It made me really nervous as the stopping power just wasn't there. I replaced them after about 3K miles with a more traditional Carbon Metallic.

I have had great luck with the Hawk HPS pads, good all around Pad.

brake pads should really be chosen based on the temp range you expect to experiance... ceramic pads are usually what someone would use for a higher temp range, ie road course driving...

Stick with some sort of a carbon or metallic pad - the HPS are a pretty decent pad from the people i have talked to

I run Hawk HPS pads, wash my car once a week, and never see brake dust on the wheels. Go Hawk
