Break pad recommendations
I have about 20k miles on my SS. I was thinking about upgrading the pads. This would be for a street setup, but one tha would offer great stopping power. Any recommendations?

I would go with the Hawk Ceramic Pads. Very fast stopping power, ultra low dust and very low noise.
PM or Call me directly for Great prices! JT |

Hawk Ceramics will perform about the same as stock. The big benefit of those pads is that they are almost a zero dust pad. If you want better performance they are not what I would suggest. Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) pads are more like it. They perform significantly better than stock and dust slightly less. A set of stainless braided brake lines help a lot too.

++1 on this. I have the Hawk Ceramics and no dust issues and the same stopping power as stock pads. Just remember to break them in per their instructions.

Ceramics are not what I would call great stopping power. Great for dust, ok for stopping.
