    Best Brake Pads on Stock Rotors

    Interested in getting a pair brake pads to hold me over before I upgrade my whole system.

    What's the best brake pad for aggressive street / performance driving on a stock rotor, without chewing the rotor up and excessive excessive brake dust?

    Looking to get pointed in the right direction and hear what people have had success with.

    These rotors will be changed once the pads are up for change also.

    Cheers,

    Try a set of StopTech Street Performance pads.

      I had very good luck with Hawk HPS pads on my last car. They don't bite super hard in every day driving but once they have some heat in them from spirited driving they were fantastic. Minimal dust aswell.

            Never had a problem with weaver gold pads from the local auto store.

              I have hawk hps only because they dont seem to dust at all, and seem to last forever... Braking wise, they're nothing to write home about.

              My pbr ceramic/ultimate pads lasted only a few months, but stopped decent, and while Hawk HP+ grip amazingly once warm, they dust like crazy, and I had to take them off because of how badly they squealed. I kept getting dirty looks and people would come up and tell me that I needed to change my brakes.

                Hawk HPS! I've tried EBC and stop tech before and the EBC just stink, the stop tech stop great but are very dusty and the Hawk stop/bite great and are low dust.
