Looking to upgrade the brakes on my 2000 z28. The factory brakes suck

Ha! Drive an LT1 and you'll appreciate those brakes you have on now.

Most cost effective way is to try a good pad and rotor combo on your current setup and bleed your brakes with new fluid as well. If that doesn't satisfy you, a brake upgrade kit is your next best bet however it gets more pricey. I believe the LS1 brakes are perfectly capable for a F-Body anyways, I've seen an F-Body with a C5 conversion brake kit up front lock up the front tires on a course multiple times, and that's something you don't exactly want to do. He was running an alright sticky tire too

My car has more of a drag setup. Slowing down from a pass sucks

Good pads plus quality blank rotors, done. Slowing down after a drag strip pass is a joke...

A good blank rotor with upgraded pads on front will do the trick. Something basic like a Hawks HPS or 5.0 up front will be an upgrade to the stock pads and will suffice for your purposes.

If you have more tolerance for dust/noise on the street, the Hawk DTC-30 is a track pad with decent street manners (doesn't eat up rotors like most track pads). Held up to plenty of repeated stops from 145+ on the back straights at Road Atlanta.

I did blank rotors (bendix) and Hawk HPS pads all around for under $300 last year. Love em. Quieter than factory brakes and lots less dust. better stopping too. win-win

IMHO Hawk pads are not that great. Carbotech is better for pure stopping power. Could be a little dusty but not rusty dust.

To Chris' point above, Carbotech is a better pad for pure stopping power. They are also slightly more expensive than Hawks.

You should look at G-LOC Brakes. 2 brothers left Carbotech and started their own brake pad company.
