I hope this is the right section but the time has come to get new brake pads...what would everyone recommend as far as some nice brake pads...maybe a little more bite than stock but not ceramic?

 

I recently bought Hawk brakes from Dezod. I am very impressed. Perhaps we would feel the full potential of the new pads if we changed our rotors but we didn't. Overall I am happy. They are quite and they work well.

 

sounds good i dont really want to change my rotors unless i bought a bbk but thats outta the price range right now...do the Hawks squeal at all?

 

I put on Hawk HPS pads a few thousand miles ago, they dust more than stock but I haven't heard any squealing.

 

I personally love the Axxis Ultimates. I will be getting another set as soon as possible. They do squeal but you get used to it, and its only during very light braking. And they do make alot of dust, but my car was never a show car so I didnt care.

 

the dust doesnt bother me so much but i cant deal with the squealing...im abt to pull my hair out now lol

 

Well Dezod sells two versions. The track one and the street one. The street one does not squeal at all unless improper installation. It even claims, OEM quality sound or something along that line. Basically its the economic version with a great bite. But I must admit, we got new Michelin tires so...yea tires make a majority of the difference.

 

yea i would go with the street versions...i just bought some bfg tires about 2k miles ago so no need for new ones...unless someone gives me some vredesteins lol
