Just posting what I was told. BTW....my brakes no longer make a sound.
I thought they used Ceramic pads now, My HHR came with them and that is what I used to replace them, I figured the Camaro would have had them too.

Btw, in your post you mentioned it was the rotors rusting from sitting. That would not have anything to do with the pad material.
