hawks are good. Unless you do alot of auto cross/road racing. But if I remember right, they have a few different kinds to choose from.

Hawks Street are great for just normal driving as they don't leave alot of dust and thats about it for them. Of course, you can get get Hawks PR Brake Pads which is made for the track.

i am a easy going driver who enjoys every bit of empty road in front of me......

DO NOT BUY PROJECT MU NS PADS....lets say they suck aids infected andy dick.

i ran them for ~150 miles, took a loss & bought ferodo 2500 pads....

2500 dusting is a lot less (~50%) than the oem pads, the 2500's take slightly longer to warm up than oem, but not much..i live near a down hill section, cold mornings were ~25-30f, not bad at all compared to oem..2500's are a great replacement for the money.

i have never tried the hawk's you mentioned.

trust me, do not buy the project mu ns pads. They fade when slowing down from a 3rd gear data log of 40-90mph!! no $hit.....

if you search & ask vendors, you will have Ferodo 2500's, F&R's shipped for ~$265-

performance friction, i cant remember if the z-rated are the ones that dust alot, but dont get the highest performance brake pads from PFC, get the lesser pad and it wont dust as much and will be plenty enough pad.

rear....hawk hps

I have HPS all the way around, I like them, they dont squeal at all (yet 6000 miles and counting), and were only 160 shipped, which wasnt to bad at all. I had a set of Ferodo 2500's on before, and they were amazing, but when it came up time for a new set, the bank account was filled with moths, so I had to go cheap.
