Thoughts on brakes?
I have done a bit of searching for what to replace / upgrade my OEM brake setup on my SS. I have a little over 87k miles on the car and brakes just started squealing at low speeds. I am torn on OEM pads/rotors/lines or changing it up with HAWK HPS 5.0 pads, Granatelli rotors, and Goodridge SS lines. I plan on changing the fluid to Motul RBF 600. My car is primarily a daily driver with spirited driving and some drag racing. I run 18" welds so not looking to upgrade to bigger brakes.

Sounds like a plan..go for it.
|
For a DD and drag use, I would go with the Hawk Performance Ceramics. Minimizes dusting to near zero and stops as well as OEM pads. Also save your money and don't bother with the Motul, it's WAY overkill.
|
In my experience over the years reduced dust means less performance. The brake dust doesn't bother me.
|
Did I understand you to say you got 87K on original brakes?
|
If you are getting that sort of life from brakes, the only reason to switch from OEM is for changing appearance.
