Hawk HPS Street Pads

Little to no noise, low dust, grab from triple digits pretty well w/o fading and they are relatively cheap.

I have PRB/Axxis Ultimates with slotted rotors... they work great. No issues whatsoever. Much cheaper than Hawk too... and if you aren't doing any legal racing, IMO I don't see why you'd want to spend the extra $ when the PBR pads will be more than adequate.

anyone use those duralast brakes? my pops was telling me to use those because of the free life time warranty...something about you never have to buy brakes again..just take back the worn out ones and they give you a new set..free...

chris350: yes they do have lifetime warranty but they are BS pads. You have to replace them every 6 months. They are not paying for labor so thats why they sell you cheap pads with lifetime warranty. After a while you get sick and tired of changing them out all the time ( and all the squeeking noises ) and end up buying good quality pads. Oem is much better than Duralast!!!

I use Centric ceramic on my dimpled/slotted rotors. Zero dust.

I tried semi-metallic but had a one second delay before I would get full grip/bite and plenty of brake dust.
