Default Another Brake Question...

Yes, I've used the search button. Yes, I'd love the CTS-V Brake upgrade, but my '98 ws6 is a summer driver, with 40K miles. Want to keep the stock polished 17's, What is best brake upgrade I can/should do? Advise please, on rotors/pads(no noise, no dust) combo's, or other suggestions(diff. calipers with stock wheels) would be welcome! Thanks!

If you replaced those 17 year old pads and rotors with the stock parts, it would probably feel like an upgrade. The stock pads are really nice - quiet and low dust.


If you want more than the stock performance, are you willing to make a trade-off with the noise or dust?
