I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.

I’ve purchased these for a 2016 Camaro 2SS to replace stock Brembo pads and rotors and they work great. I think I remember them squeaking a little bit though.
It's a great tire I had a set on my 1971 camaro no issues at all
They are a little stiffer than stock. I’ve had Bilsteins on a 4th Gen Camaro, an 2002 Grand Prix, and a 2007 GMC Envoy. They were stiffer and improved handling on all the vehicles they were put on. You won’t be disappointed with the 5100 if you are looking more a little more performance than stock.
The camaro SS uses brembo pads which are really good hence the price tag (imo the quote you got is pretty reasonable). If you want a more cost effective alternative, hit up MSW autoparts and ask for Zlatko. They have EBC brake pads which are also really good aftermarket pads.
GM has used plastic (composite) leaf springs for decades, the first gen Camaro and Nova had them, the Corvette starting in 84, the Chevy Astro van, 1st/2nd gen Ford Explorer Sports.
The amount of dust from Brembo pads never fails to drive me absolutely insane. Phenomenal brakes, but my god is cleaning the wheels constantly brutal.
Had them on a Camaro SS a few years ago. Only snow tires I've ever used so I can't compare them to anything. I wasn't impressed, they weren't terrible but I expected more in deep snow. No complaints on dry or wet pavement.
getting a used A8 is playing Russian roulette with getting the shudder which can range from a $300 transmission flush to replacing the TC
