** Best Brake Pads **
What are the best pads in your opinion as far as low dust and no squeaking noises? I have a SS with 22" wheels... I absolutely hate the brake dust... Nothing was as bad on dust as my 750 Li....

This, but you'll give up stopping power with them. The stockers are a good combination of stopping vs dusting. Yes they dust a lot but nothing like full on race pads.

Agreed. I haven't noticed any stopping difference in normal street driving.

i dont see why people think that pads that dust less brake the same or better. a good chunk of the dust is the rotor anyways.
with that said op has 22's prob not worried about performance... |

If you do a search in this section. All the suspension shops that race will tell you the same. Ceramic pads dust less and will decrease your stopping power.

For regular street driving the Hawk ceramic pads are great and will provide much less dust. Feel free to call, PM or email me with questions.

Any opinions on the Hawk HPS break pads?

Hawk HPS are a great street performance pad. We sell more of those than any other pads. They performance much better than stock and dust slightly less. The ceramics I mentioned before perform about the same as stock but hardly dust at all.

I swapped out my simi metallic pads on my WRX for ceramics. Was very happy with the performance and dust/ brake noise. However the heat transfer did warp the roters over time. They are great to have just keep in mind you may end up replacing rotors before those ceramic pads wear out.
