hawks vs Axxis Ultimate brake pads.

what you guys think, should i go for the GD on axxis ultimate or should i buy hawks. and if i should go with hawks is there like a brand to hawks to go with. like hawks ultimate, something along those lines. i just bought brembo slotted rotors and i'm gona change my pads when i put on the rotors, so i want to have like the best combination. i heard that axxis give alot of brake dust and hawks aren't that good untill they warm up. is this true. which one pads are better.

I'm currently using the axxis ULT/brembo blanks combo...it bites better than stock but very noisy.

then definitely stay away from the Axxis ULT...or they'll provide you with some insane 5.1 DTS effects of screeching.

ok, so i'm starting to lean towards the hawks. now is it true that they need time to warm up to get the best effect going. like what i need to drive for like 4 blocks constantly pressing on the brake for the pads to give me their best potential.

Hawk HPS...hands down
- good bite, warm or cold
- little to no fade
- no noise
- low dust

They are far superior in all aspects to the Axxis Ultimates I had on my accord a few years ago.

What tires did you put on your car that are so quiet?? I need to put some quiet tires too. I am sick of my noisy Michelin pilots.
Let me know.

avon techs m550 a/s awsome tires, the grip is really good, i got them and drove in heavy rain for like a week felt like it was on dry surface all the time, very happy. but you can only get them of tirerack so there is no barganing room.
