Im switching back to autozone brand next brake swap. 
Which Brake Pads?
Which Brake Pads? Im going to be buying new brembo plain rotors for my C5 setup. im also going to be needing a new set of pads, but i do not know which pair would be best for me. The car frequently sees Very Spirited driving, so id like something with a good resistance to heat and something with a very good bite. idc about dust or noise. just performance. thanks

well, i personally use wagner thermoquiet pads on everything i drive, drove, and will drive. my mechanics that i usually go to use nothing but those and when i need new ones i can get them warrantied so i don't have to pay for it more than the one time. they're like 60-70 bucks for a set and they perform pretty damn good i might add. as far as rotors go i just use the cheap chinese blanks. i know some of you guys don't like the china crap but truth is, they're just as good as anything else. blanks are better anyways. i heard some things about the powerslots cracking and stuff. if you don't want to get chinese blanks i would say get brembo blanks..either all or nothing i say haha! never used hawk pads but i think they're just overpriced overhyped. everyone uses them on here though and i prefer my wagner pads because they never let me down and like i said, my dad can get them for me cheap and warranty them for me so its buy once and forget about it.
