Default Performance Brakes

Who here has tried performance pads on there vette?
I currently have Hawks and they work great but I'm tired of the noise and excusive dust. I am interested in trying out a set of ceramic pads for my new slotted rotors. From what I read they offer great braking and a low amount of dust and are very quite. So my question is is there any one on this forum that tried theme on there C3? What brand are they and where did you get theme? Any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks John :cheers:

Haven't used ceramics, but I've been happy with Performance Friction Z pads. Guldstrand recommends them for agressive street use.

I can drive less than 2 miles and there will be a thin film on the rims already.
I spend more time cleaning than driving. I will research those friction Z brakes thanks for the tip.
