Brake pads OEM Volvo or Hawk Performance
I picked up a pair of Hawk performance pads, the street ones, not the real aggressive ones. Got them from Tire Rack for about $90. They are the best tho. Great for the money.
the HP+ is way dustier than most so this builds up quicker and squeels more. it's a pretty damn grippy pad that requires very little heat to work.....good thing when used on the street.
Actually the +'s are a street pad and "occasional" track useage. They lean more to the track side of things like you said. And yes they do squeal a lot and are quite dusty in my experience.
Go with the Hawk HPS. Fantastic pads. I love them.
Hawk Blue 9012 - Designed to be used on the track only
the 'normal' Wilwood/RPI kit has 11" rotors with the 4pot caliper. my stock speedlines D.E.'s fit perfect. it's as close as one could get though. it's sounds funny to downsize in rotor size, but the big advantage to the 11.3's wasn't rotor size but pad sweep. that's where it had a 33% advantage to the O.E.M. 11.0's. but i went from the 11.3 with steel lines and Red box pads to the wilwood 11.0 with Hawk pads and have to say it's totally incredible. they do have a brand new 13.0" kit with the same caliper and an aluminum hatted rotor that still weighs 15lbs less than stock. might have to upgrade to that when my current rotors are toast. don't know if i want to rid myself of my 15's though. it's nice to be able to use both.
