If you are looking something that performs about the same as stock but is a very low dust pad, take a look at the Hawk Ceramics. If you are looking for a high performance street pad then take a look at Hawk HPS. If you are looking for a mixed street and track use pad then Hawk HP+ is what you want. If you have any questions feel free to send me a private message.

I went with the HPS pads because they perform better than stock and they have less dust.

You have a few options. The go to brake pads for the Camaro are the Hawk Ceramics and the Hawk HPS!

We also have our Stillen Metal Matrix pads available that cost 30% less than Hawk.

Our Stillen Metal Matrix pads use specific grades of predominantly semi-metallic compounds with the right amount of ceramics and other components mixed in to provide higher friction than OE pads. Their ability to operate at a higher heat range, resulting in less chance of brake fade.

PM or Call me with any questions.

Thanks

JT

I used the HPS pads on my Gen 4. How many miles do you have on the stock pads?
