I looking into getting new pads, Just wondering what would be the best path to go for quiet or non squeeking pads?

My Hawk HPS have NO noise on my car. They did not last that long, although similar to stock.

Only one recommendation from me.

DO NOT BUY THE DURALAST OR THE NAPA PADS.

Trust me when I say that.

Loud as H**L.

When I bought my car they had the Autozone pads/Duralast and I had no problems with those. They had no bite but they got me where I needed to go and they were quiet.

Are you guys reusing the stock shims and using grease to quiet them down?

Yes and tons of grease.

They are quite for about 3 stops at the light or a stop sign then light brake peddle pressure they scream.

Doesn't sound like they are bad they just scream like crazy and scare women and children in a 3 mi radius.

I have Project Mu Bspec in the front and Project Mu NS pads in the rear. I hear very little noise. I did use the shims and lots of grease.

So far the Project Mu pads have been my favorite!

Hawk HPS here and no issues. They stop good, no dust and are quite. The only thing I noticed was when I would get them hot in the first 1000 miles or so they would make a loud noise but it has went away and I think they are great.
