Would you mind posting the link?
I have the GT500 Brembo kit new in the box and was wondering about the bleeding procedure as well.

Thanks

Counterpoint - I drive my car hard. I am actually very happy with the factory pads for the Brembos in terms of initial bite and progressive braking. Dust is less of a concern of mine, as I drive 20k a year and my car doesn't stay clean enough for dust to be a concern anyways.

I've used Hawk HPSs on my G35 with Brembos and my GTO which had the same sliding calipers as a C5 Corvette. They had crap initial bite and braking force/pedal pressure was less consistant than the OEM pads.
