Brake Pad Recommendations

Looking for brake pad recommendations other then Hawk HPS. These pads make too much noise. It was suggested to use these pads with the power slot rotors I have.
Thanks

Any ceramic pad. I had prostop ceramic pads and they were great. No noise and very smooth braking. I have some Bendix pads waiting to be installed now.

Just go to you local parts store and ask for some brake lube. They will probably give you a couple packets for free.

Do you use your car for daily driving or weekend racing? Drilled / Slotted rotors are often hyped up. If your car is daily driven, get blanks
