Stoptech Rotors and Pads
Stoptech Rotors and Pads Just ordered some Stoptech street performance pads and Stoptech drilled rotors (rears only) from Tirerack.com for just over 200.00. These are for my Z28. I am running a Wilwood 6 piston 13" set-up, up front.
I'll post pics of them and the install when done. Anyone else running this rotor/pad combination?

I'm using their pads in my personal GTO with PowerSlot rotors (same metallurgy as StopTech) and I think they are the best pads I've ever used on the street. I haven't used anything better and I've used all the big name guys. No brake fade at all. None.

I thought to myself 'ok...soooo I want to give these a shot.' I ordered a set for my GTO and did four runs up to 130-140 down to 30mph with no fade. Several days later I took it out to a tight autocross/road course that has been really bad on my brakes when I used other pads - no fade after 8 laps. Then I went to Sebring and had no fade after 5/6 laps. All this on a street pad? I am sold on these pads for life now. There are certainly more pads out there that offer more braking torque, but there are few that can maintain consistent brake feel and performance through such a wide range in temperature and still be a good option to use on the street everyday. It is because of this that I don't run anything else on the street or at an AutoX. I do, however, use Hawk DTC-70 pads for my track duty...just nothing like their braking power.
Also, I'm speaking from personal experience. I have no affiliation with them at all. I just know how well they worked for me and since they're a relatively new pad and everyone is convinced they should use what's popular, I feel I should let everyone know about their pads. I've gotten a lot of people to convert over and every single one of them has been entirely satisfied with them.

BMR, I appreciate your input. I recently purchased this Fbody and it already had the Wilwood front kit on it. I shipped it over here to Germany and had to take it thru the rather tough inspection process over here. I can safely say that my front brakes passed with flying colors. My rears failed terribly. As I am not made of money and have many, many things to either replace or add to my Z28 I couldn't justify the matching wilwood rear set-up. Also, I won't be auto x-ing anytime soon. My front suspension isn't stock, but what it is, is old! lol. I've got some work to do. Tirerack said 2 weeks for delivery over here to Germany but once I have them on I'll update this thread.
