Can anyone a good brake pad for an '06 SS/SC. I'm looking primarily for a pad that produces less brake dust.
thanks.

 

ebc green stuff

 

I am holding out for Axxis Ultimates. Best pads I have ever used.

 

hawk was the best ive used but those are only for the 2.2 cobalt unfortunately

 

that's what I've heard also.

 

performance friction. had them on the Z, amazing.

 

Hawk are probably the best pad on the market. Although they don't make any brake pads for the SS/SC yet. If they ever decide to make them the HPS series of pads is what you would want for the street and light to moderate track use.

 

thanks guys. I'll have to do price and availability checking now.

Ajent - what kind of wheels are those in the pic in your sig. Exactly the style I'm looking for!!!

 

what's the difference between the ebc red stuff and green stuff pads?

 

if I understand correctly, the red are more of a performance pad. Intended more for racing applications(?) They may wear quicker than the green. Not positive about this though.

 

Something like this?

Those are the chrome ones, ebay also has silver.

 

yeah i just orderd the red stuff brake pads this morning. They better be good

 

red stuff i wouldnt recamend since certain pads wont start working well till properly heated up as they would be in racing that is why they make 2 kinds if you have a daily driver and want good braking go with green stuff

 

Oh, thanks for the tip buddy. Mine is my daily driver. Would changing the rotors to crossdrilled like the 272 help with the dust as well?

 

for longer lasting i would go slotted only rotors but if you want the best braking and dont mind replacing rotors often then cross drilled would be good

 

Yeah I might try them out. I love how they look on the z06, and 272, etc.

 

I ordered green stuff pads a long time ago, thinking they had them in stock ,but nope. The manufactures' making more of them. Ive been waiting a month now.

 

Those are HRE wheels

Whats the diff between ebc green and red stuff?

 

greens more street, reds more track

 

I would cancel that order for the red stuff pads, those are pretty much a race pad and need to be heated up ALOT before they will actually work good. Order the green stuff pads instead. And on a side note, has anyone ever smelt the EBC pads, they smell insanely weird, maybe because they are organic?

 

lmao. I don't want weird smelling anything on my car. You mean when you press the brakes you can smell something?
