The price depends on the brake pad plate being used.

The 1LE 4pot caliper uses the same backing plate that's used in a lot of smaller vehicles like an Evo or WRX, so my price for Pagids on that is around $280 for a set of fronts.

ZL1 pads uses the same backing plate as the GTR, Audi RS4 I believe and Merc CLK I think. Very expensive vehicles. A front set for those pads go for $600+

So again it all depends on the backing plate of the caliper you're using. I spend less than $300 for a great set of front pads.

Yeah, my co-worker has a 04 STI, uses the same pads as my brembos.

I can't remember which pads I was looking at but for I remember it being close to $600 for all 4 corners.

[QUOTE=JusticePete;8509389]It depends on the use of your SS and budget.



How often do you push your Camaro hard? German Autobahn and racetrack car

Driven as a daily driver or is it a special use Camaro? Special use for the most part, i am always tinkering and upgrading but she will be back on American roads in less than 6 months so that changes some things

How many miles are on your SS? Just a hair under 50K miles

How many miles are on your brakes and rotors? Less than 1500 before I thrashed the pad on the track

Budget
Under $3000 preferred

Under $5000 considered if benefit to cost is there.

EBC Bluestuff operates up to 900 C. Not sure about the yellow, but I think EBC says it isn't for heavy cars.
