Time to get new brake pad!
It's about time to get new brake pad for me because mine are like almost done. I have used the oem, PBR, Hawk hp plus. And i want to try something new, what kind of pad are you guys using? and how much did you pick it up for..? and how would you compare it to the stock ones?
thanks

How's Hawk for noise and dust compared to OEM? I've never ever used aftermarket pads on any car I've owned....I'm a brake n00b.

All I have to say is don't get the EBC Greenstuff. They are horrible for brake dust and noise.

using Williams solo2 pads, VERY good pads, it doesnt require time to heat up the pad like other performance pads, but not for track use, only for daily driving and autox since there wont be enough time to heat up the pad for autox, not much dust, but stopping power is wonderful.

warning: dont use on track since it will be WAY overheat even in 2 laps in Shanonville

I just stuck with the OEM pads as they make no noise and wear nicely.
