What are the best brakes for my car, I do normal driving and don't race. I want the best stopping power for everyday driving. I heard about pads from hawk, also I heard Autozone pads were good. Does anyone know the names of the pads and were I can get them (if they are different from the autozone pads)?

 

i heard the hawk are good, but they give off a lot of brake dust.


i ordered the KVR LT1 pads from fasttoys.net ........they are supposed to dust less and be better than stock replacement pads, but not too expensive/crazy. i paid $43+shipping for the front set. havent tried them yet.

 

I've got Hawks'. Pretty good pads once they're warmed up. Dust isn't bad - certainly nothing like the Raybestos pads I had before. Those things were just plain nasty.

 

I've heard Carbon Metallic pads are good.

 

The PF carbon metallic are great pads.... very little dust too.

What do you mean "when they get warm"

 

They're fine when cold, but they tend to get even more bite after a braking 1 or 2 times. Basically they start off about as good as stockers then improve. I also have Powerslot rotors, btw. Not sure if that's got anything to do with it.

 

I like the Hawks,and dust isnt bad at all.

 

Perf Friction Co Carbon Mettalics here. ~40 bucks but lifetime warrenty.

I just have the Pep Boys ceramic pads which are great for no dust. Of course I won't have to worry about cleaning my front wheels if I have to stop quick. I will be replacing the entire front end. These pads suck for stopping and if I don't change them to something else soon I may need a drag chute.
