There was a discussion on this yesterday in the Tech section. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-corvette.html
I have Baer rotors, with Stop Tech calipers and Hawk pads, but only because I got a really great deal on the components.
There are a few vendors on this site who also offer brake packages.
Best wishes with your fix.

I asked about D/S from brake motives last week and received a lot of good recommendations.
Reminds me I should get off my *** and order them.

Brakemotive is your best bang for the buck. I wouldn't buy anywhere else.

Lots of people like Hawk for street or Carbotech. Neither one has very good customer service. I have sent emails and phone calls asking for information but neither have responded after a week. It's disappointing but that was my experience.

I ran a set of Baer Eradispeed (1 piece) D/S rotors and Hawk HPS pads and really liked them. I too have heard good things about the Brakemotive products.
