For the single-piston brakes LS and LT models carry, I only found 2 performance brake pad options:


1) Dynamic Friction "Street/Track" pads
Front: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...413&cc=3437525 ; hardware: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...11910481&jsn=4

Rear: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...433&cc=3437525 ; hardware: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...11910729&jsn=1


Before I put them onto my V6 1LS, I didn't know anything about the pads other than that they're manufactured by a company that suppliers the brakes to R1Concepts, so I went in blindly.
To my surprise, they held up very well at Buttonwillow Raceway--I only experienced slight, but negligible fade after doing 5 hot laps in a row.
They are also fine for daily driving, but note that they will dust like a mothertrucker.


2) Carbotech AX-6 brake pads: https://ctbrakes.com
Never tried them and I don't think they would be good as a dual-purpose street/track pads, but a lot of Camaro guys like them + they make it in your size:
Front: CT1886-AX6
Rear : CT1914-AX6
Thanks for the info, I went with R10 on the front and R8s on the back suggested by Danny at G Loc, says those should up well with a fluid change. Don't plan on using them as daily drivers track only.
