Default LT1 Brakes

I need new brake pads. I want to get the nice ones that cause less brake dust. I think they are like 47/50 for the front and the back. Is that correct? Whoever else have purchased these, where did u buy them?

LT1 brakes suck. see if you have the change to upgrade to the LS1 brakes.

EBC are great, I run them currently and enjoy way less brake dust and better stoping power.

True story. Find a set in the junk yard. I spent about $135 for my including parts and everything.

Came with spindles, rotors, pads, and callipars(sp).
