I'm looking for new brake pads and I want ceramic for less dust, but I was wondering what the best options are that still brake really well? I'm looking at hawk ceramic pads now but wanna see if there is better out there before I pull the trigger

 

Once upon a time when I drove a 2003 WRX with Brembos....... Hawk HP+ squeeled like crazy. Replaced the pads with some centric ceramic pads, low dust, no noise, but also low performance especially in colder temps. Replaced those with Hawk HPS. Compared to HP+, lower dust and minimal noise but only a tad less bite.

 

I think Hawk is your best bet. I currently have Girodisc Magic Pads which are semi metallic that I gave a shot because MAP had a stage 1 deal with Motul 600, SS lines and the pads. Once these go bad I'm gonna give Hawk a try.

 

Thanks for the input guys!
