pads for z32 on a 00

im building my brake system again.

so far
front
z32 alum quad piston calipers
brembo blanks 13inch cobra rotors
all adapters and such
ss brake lines

rear
brembo blanks rotors
ss lines

the car is my daily driver i was looking at pads. so far im thinking the hawk hps all the way around but that seems a lil weak for the amount of $$$ put into the rest of the setup. anyone have a suggestion on pads with the equipment i currently have.

at the moment im running 04 frozen rotors with axxis ceramics up front and cheapo rotors in back with axxis. not bad. so thats just what im used to. i like it and all but its just not good enough, and i got a good deal on the front z32 bbk, so why not go bigger/better

I wouldn't worry about the front pads that much. The amount of braking power you will have in front is going to be huge. I'd actually look for a relatively "weak" front pad and use the most agressive rear pads I could find.

Hawks weak? It's a high performance pad.
If Hawks are weak you problably won't want these cheapies that I ran with my Z32 caliper/ cobra rotors combo on my 4th gen.

intresting, any suggestions then. would using a weaker pad up front do anything to the brake distribution, or just the feel, i know the distribution is gonna be off due to such large fronts and everything.
