Need brakes!! what pads?

I need brakes on the rear badly, and the fronts are getting low, so I was planning on doing all four at the same time.

The car stops ok now with el-cheapo pads, but if im buying pads why not buy something good for a few more $$.

I was looking at Hawks and have heard good things about EBC, ceramic is supposed to be great also.

What is everybody else here running? If I do go EBC do I want the greenstuff or redstuff pads?


thanks

I've always used the Performance Friction Carbon Metallic pads from AutoZone. They are not too expensive and come with a lifetime warranty.

They work very well in everyday driving.

I use the ceremic pads that NAPA carry and I love them. I swear to you that there is next to NO dust that come off of these pads. I still have the stock pads on the rear and they give out a lot more dust than my front ceramic pads. I love them.

I guess ceramic it is then, no dust sounds nice, and I dont need race brakes.

PF Z-rated pads front and rear, very good stopping power and NO brake dust.
