Brake Pad ?

I was wondering if anyone has used the Hawk Ceramic or hps pads. If so what is your opinion on them. What I am looking for is alot less dust and ok stoping. Not really racing that much to need to stop on a dime but the dust from the oems are killer. Can anyone recommend these pads and if so where can i get them from?

thanks

Haven't tried them. I can recommend EBC Redstuff Ceramics. Great pad and low dust.

Search online. Go to the EBC web site. They have a list of online retailers. I think they run about $120 per set (front).http://www.ebcbrakes.com

hey....i dunno about EBC pads man...but i would recommend the Porterfields-RS4 pads. I have them installed about 2 months ago, and i like the pads a lot and i will get them again in the near future. I would say that the pads doesnt create a lot dust compare to OEM its WAY less. My rims are really clean compared to the OEM pads... so this is my recommendation. hope this helps.
