Brake pads EBC or OEM Chevrolet
Depending on your engine (taking the 2.0 turbo petrol as an example) EBC do a kit for all pads and disks for £506.57 including VAT.
I have ebc red stuff on my car. They produce dust but stop very well
If you want less brake dust then EBC Red Stuff. I ran them on my 435i and I am running them on my M4. They are fast road pads, not track pads. But they work well and there is pretty much no dust.
I use centric high carbon rotor blanks and EBC reds. They're great, although not quite zero dust theyre less than stock. Very grabby in the cold though, worse than stock for that.
I use EBC Red Stuff. They have excellent modulation. EBC's website says that they are lower dust and last longer than Green Stuff.
Get you some Nitto NT555s, Caltracs traction bars, steeda lowering springs, GT500 swaybars, GT500 Fuel Pump, and a good set of brake rotors and pads from either Powerstop or EBC.
I’ve got EBC blue stuff on my Chrysler 300 (weights like 4400lbs) with EBC slotted rotors. The factory pads were quite easy to overheat to where you can feel a decrease in braking performance, by the time I installed the EBC pads, the factory pads and rotors pulsated. With the EBC blue stuff pads I have yet to feel them fade (no track use). Some downsides, they dust like crazy, my chrome wheels are a dull gray in just a few days. Additionally they sometimes squeak and squeal, they also feel a little worse than factory pads for initial bite when it’s really cold out such as 20f. Lastly they aren’t supposed to last all that long.
96 GF8 STi with EBC orange stuff pads and EBC rotors. Stock brake calipers
I am on their RP-1 pads but I get terrible vibrations after they get heated. I suspect its because I didnt change rotors from my previous pads. I just thought they'd be rebedded after a few hard stops with the new pads.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
