Brake Pads, Hawk or EBC Green stuff

What would you guy concider to be a better pad.

Looking for as much stoping power as possible without changeing calipers. Id like them to last as long as with an OE pad. I probably wont be racing, just some spirited driving on back roads. Dusting is not a factor, i can deal with dust if i can stop better.

Ill be using power slot rotors. Thanks.

I have EBC Greenstuff pads with powerslot rotors, right now. They stop on a dime in the rain, I also have Firehawk SZ50ep's, so they help quite a bit too. I went through a lot of pads because of squeaks. These pads never squeaked and have no brake dust as an added benefit. They will stop just as well as the Hawk's will, but the Hawk's will dust a whole lot more than stock pads. I had to wash my wheels every other day because of the Hawk's but with the Greenstuff pads its every 2 or 3 weeks. I paid $99 from Tirerack for my EBC's.

EBC all the way. I'll never go back. Unbelievable stopping ability. Granted, I have slotted rotors, but my car feels damn near like an LS1 brake setup.
