Need more info than this. Are you changing for a autoX? road track? Street? Are you more concerned with performance or dust? This is usually a one or the other. Are you looking for a specific type of rotor? something like stock but better? Just pads?

Pm me or email me if you like. Thanks

He is correct. Tell us how you drive and what modifications you have made to your Camaro.

Right now it is bone stock but around christmas time I plan on supercharging it and doing exhaust stuff...I live in Nj so the roads are quit open but then there are quick lights so I guess you can say that I am not to light nor to hard on the brakes..but on the way to work going into the city I am constantly on them bc of the traffic. The dust and noise is horrible..some squeak some not and I was thinking aboutt he cross drilled rotors for better stopping and looks

Cross drilled will look great, but will not increase your braking power.

I have tested the SS OE rotors, calipers and pads on a road course. We got a good solid test session in. To put that in perspective, doing the same testing at the same track with a Mustang GT we got 1.5 laps. Doing the same testing at the same track my G8 brake pads disintegrated. The OE SS brakes are quite good.

For more intense track use we run Cobalt Friction race only pads. The brakes are awesome set up that way.

For street use I feel the OE pads are an excellent combination street / track pad. They are performance brakes and therefore noisy and dusty. They are noisy and dusty because they work well. Many on this forum have switched to after market pads to lower the amount of dust. I personally think GM did a very good job and would not change out the OE pads as I feel they are done well. Those OE guys are pretty smart.

So do you think that I should switch the rotors for the look, will that change anything? make worse or better

[JusticePete]

Switching out for the look won't hurt anything UNLESS you plan to do intense road course days. Most cross drilled are nit up to that intense use. Have you looked at this thread for Racing Brakes?

J-Hooks look cooler, and have great initial bite.

Or if you prefer cross drilled.
