I use Raybestos ST43. I'm told their feel is similar to a DTC60, except these are $120 to my door and last a full season. The Hawks are good for 2 weekends and overpriced as all hell.

Stock calipers? Kinda shocked 15 people have viewed this and only one reply.

Raybestos 47's in the front of mine. I got a smoking deal a few seasons ago for something like $160/set, so bought six sets. I'll have pads for a while.
They are a bit "bitey" for a non-ABS application, but Raebestos does make several pads with less initial bite.

43 are real easy to modulate. 47 can be had for under 160 an axle as well. They also make a 41 and 45 compound that I have yet to try. I need something softer out back because I took all the bias out and still get hop if I'm too quick on the brake pedal.

Stock LS1 calipers I only ever ran XP10's on front and generally azone golds on the rear. On the rear I have also run a Carbotech Bobcat or 1821 or 1521? type of compound and right now it has some Hawk HPPPlus.

I've tried several and am still looking at a few more but the baseline I keep coming back to is either Porterfield R4 or Carbotech XP10 in the front with Autozone Duralast or Stoptech Sports in the rear. I'm not 100% happy with any of them (why I keep trying other stuff) but so far, they've been the least evil with my driving style and setup. Most of the others were great in one or two aspects but also did some very bad things under certain conditions.

Orange is usually Carbotech XP10 in the front / O'Reilly house brand ceramic in the rear.
I think another Orange is usually Porterfield R4 in front.
I probably need to try the R4. or the CO Boyz cheaper set.

I really hate to give this info to you guys but.......Cobalt are by far the best I have ever tried. I put them in prior to Hallett last year and they are only half gone after Cresson. I do not run their most agressive pads but Eric Foss told me about them and they are great. The guy you call (I don't remember his name) works with you to figure out what compound to run. We used to like PFC11's but these last longer and are not so sensitive. I'm going to get at least a full year out of the fronts and half again more out of the rears.
