Default C5 brake options

I am converting my lt1 brakes on my t/a to c5 brakes and was wanting some advice for the best pads, rotors, and fluid for street use and occasional track use (1/4 mile). Thanks in advance for any help.

I just got the ac/delco ceramic gm pad from jennings parts on ebay for 113.25 shipped. They are really good to work with.

I'll have the brakes off of my '02 Z for sale by the end of this week, beginning of next. All 4 calipers, eradispeed 1pc drilled/slotted rotors, stock pads, and NIB set of Hawk HPS pads for $500 shipped.

I already have c5 brake calipers, front and rear.........only thing I need is rotors but was thinking about upgrading the pads and fluid was looking for ideas/suggestions on that---not wanting to buy another brake system

Thanks anyway

ah.....Hawk HPS pads are good pads for the street and dont dust much. The Hawk HP Plus pads are REALLY good but they produce quite a bit of dust. For brake fluid I've always used Motul 600.
