Time for new brakes for the 2000SS

Anybody got some ideas/thoughts/recommendations? I don't want to go nuts spending on crosslottedrilledimpledtitanium rotors or anything. Just looking for quality rotors and pads with minimal dust and noise.

When I last did brakes on the Camaro up front, I went with Power Slot Rotors, Hawks Pads & Stainless Steel Brake lines. The SS Brake lines made a huge improvement on feel of braking. The pads also didn't produce a large amount of dust either & provided a good stopping feeling. I don't believe the combination was to expensive either.

I hear the WS6Store.com has some pretty good deals on complete brake kits that get good reviews.

Next time I upgrade I'm going with C5/6 Brake upgrade up front, with 98+ stockers in the rear.

EBC gren stuff make almost no dust but their stopping power is kinda weak until they get up to temp.

I use HAWK HPS pads on the GTP and they are great, aside from the dusting. They worked well in all temperatures from very cold to very hot.
