Brake pads
Need to replace the high dust brake pads on my grand sport. Non carbon fiber.
Can't decide between the Hawk pads or Powerstop Z26 pads. Anyone try both pads? I want equal stopping power as the Brembo's but withour the dust.

Not that the Powerstop are bad pads…on the street you would never notice the loss of braking performance, but on a track you would. 60-0 stopping with the Powerstop you lose about 6 feet of braking performance. Not horrible, but a reduction.
