New Braking Setup Advice? Hey I have a 02 Z28 & I know I will be needing brakes soon. I could get the stock rotors resurfaced except I was wondering if there are any new aftermarket rotors that someone may recommend. I'm not looking to break the bank on this as I will not really be auto crossing the car or anything like that any time soon. Mostly just street & strip. Also brake pad recommendations? I heard that Hawks are good although they can be pretty noisy & make a ton of brake dust. I've never had any expeirence with them but heard different things about em. What are some brake upgrades that you guys run?
Im running Brake Motive rotors and their provided pads. I mainly street drive my car but have done several passes down the 1/4mile. The brakes seem to be holding out really well.
first 500miles or so I was experiencing a lot of brake dust but im guessing they were breaking in. Now dust is light.

I also went with the Brakemotive rotor/pad setup. So far so good. No noise and it seems to stop better than stock, but I never really put the stockers to the test often. I went with slotted but not grooved rotors for looks. Delivery was quick and the price was good, plus I use this site quite often and it's good to support a site sponsor.
