Best price for Hawk pads or other pad suggestions

Doing my LS1 upgrade and dont want to use the LS1 brakes. How much did you guys pay for your Hawk ceramic pads or whatever you use? Dont want to just throw a set of napa or autozone brakes in there just to save some money, unless there is really no difference.

Let me know, if I need to order, I need feedback ASAP

Thanks all!

Re: Best price for Hawk pads or other pad suggestions

actually....the napa ceramix are quite nice. wouldnt buy nice rotors though...you'll eat them up or if you get slotted you'll destroy the pads.

for a while i had raybestos ceramix pads and crap rotors on stock lt1 brakes. then i swapped over to the slotted rotors...they warped and not only did i lose the rotors due to noone cutting them, i lost the pads due to cracking/flaking.

Re: Best price for Hawk pads or other pad suggestions

PM'ed you back. We sell PBR (sometimes boxed at Axxis), but PBR is the brand, and the company who make the stock calipers and stock compound pads) as well as Hawk.... and some others as well. But PBR and/or Hawk are what we use 99% of the time.
