Depends on what you want to do. HPS are a great pad for the street and some track use, ie lapping etc.
More aggressive pads take a long time to heat up and can eat your rotors. Their website will guide you. Summits website is good also and the prices are too.
Cheers.

I'm thinking ceremic. From what I 've read they produce ultra low dust and are rotor friendly and better then OEM. I want my new rotors to look good for awhile. The HPS sound like a better performance pad.

I am strictly street driver, no track stuff. I put on set of Bosch ceramics and very,very pleased. Stops great and even better, no ugly brake dust on my rims. Lifetime warranty too.
