Default Best brake pads?
What whould you guys consider the best brake pads for my application. I only drive on the street and would like pads with low dust, low noise, and descent performance. I am not planning on any 150mph-0mph nose grinders. I have factory rotors. thx

Hawk performance ceramics should fit the bill, not many other good pads with low dust.

Thank you for the quick replies. I have used the Hawk HPS on my 03 cobra and my 05 STi and like them, except for the dust. Thanks guys
