PowerStop. I’ve been running them for about the last 1000 miles...99% reduction in dust. It’s glorious! A little less initial bite than OEM, but for the street they work perfect. Probably wouldn’t recommend for track use...although drag strip would be fine.

Order from Summit Racing. Arrived next day, free shipping I believe, and cheapest price I could find. ~$120 total.

I've found the brake dust to be on par with my ctsv. I wouldn't substitute braking performance for lower dust. I went down that road with my ctsv using the carbotech ceramic pads and it was a huge mistake. You lose initial bite big time and just overall braking power. That's just my opinion though. Why change from the best? We have Brembo brakes.

I've used PowerStop Z26's on many cars (2 Camaros and 4 Vettes of my own). They are awesome for the price!

Here's a little install thread on them (SS 1LE, but same procedure). Very easy. Swap them back out and re-bed for a track day...

I have to agree with you, the ceramics don't stop near as good as the stock pads. But where I live on the Summerlin side of Vegas, the roads are only 35 and 45 mph . So the ceramics are ok. But, if your at a higher speed and get on the ceramic brakes they really fade quickly
