Brake pads Hawk Performance or Duralast
I put these on my Corrado along with the big rotors from ECS and Hawk HPS pads. They really stop good!
Ive got about 1k miles on the Autozone pads now and absolutely LOVE them. The feel is much better (progressive as opposed to grabby) and the dust! Oh the dust! Similar to the rear wheels which means I can drive further than 20 feet without having to clean them.
I had the Duramax Ceramic front set installed in my car last week. little to no dust. performs pretty much just like stock, only differences i've noticed is that its less grabby initially, and braking has a more linear feel.
Yep! Had them on for some months now. Cheap and effective, dust problem gone, end of story.
I just installed them on Saturday and I'm really liking it so far. Very linear feeling as well, and similar to stock, but less grabby out of the gate. The one main thing I noticed today is that my wheels aren't caked with brake dust, as they usually are with just one day of driving in stop and go LA traffic!
They also come with Hawk pads that should be fine for street use.
Blank rotors from tasca and hawk hps 5.0 pads. Feels and preforms great.
Hawk HPS... Had them on my Mk5 GTI with ATE Power Slot rotors. I used hell out of that setup at the N\u00fcrburgring and on the Autobahn.
Those were my last pads. The bite is totally different from stock... but in the winter, the first couple of stops are down right scary until the pads get some heat in them. I'm braking down some steep inclines... that's why I got rid of them half way through its life--- hoping the Akebonos will be better..
I am always happy using the cheapest ceramic pads I can find and the cheapest rotors I can find, no matter what car its going on. I have expensive Hawk Performance Ceramic on my STI and they're actually worse than the cheap stuff. Tons of dust and even some noise.
