I just installed the 6-piston Corvette calipers with Endless MX72 pads and it's amazing on the street so far. My buddy who helped me with the install has a CTS-V with OEM pads and he was shocked how much stopping power the Endless pads have. Headed my to Sebring Labor Day weekend so I'll see how they fair. They are a bit pricey but Based on reviews from GTR and Porsche owners they are soft on rotors, have long pad life, and quiet on the street. So far not a peep on the road but will know more after Sebring and Daytona at the end of the month.

I'd go with either Carbotech 1521/Bobcat or the G-loc equivalent (GS-1). Hawk performance ceramics are generally rated below HPS in terms of stopping power, and initial bite with the HPS pads is . . . ummm . . . a bit soft/unimpressive.

I swapped out my stock Brembo rotors and pads for the R1 Concepts Carbon Geomet slotted rotors and ceramic pads just over a year ago. Since swapping over I have put many awesome miles on them and highly recommend them to a fellow 1LE owner wanting an affordable brake upgrade. Get them if you want great braking performance in a ceramic combination with nearly no brake dusting and only an occasional faint squeak when coming to a stop at slow parking lot speeds.

So, when installing pads only, do you have to bed them in?
Or just when you also install new rotors? |

Are the Ceramic pad much hard on the Rotors, with regards to wear shorting it's life span and also did you see less dust.
