    No idea but I'm going to be doing the same thing on the same car. Best of luck.

        My HAWK HPS pads are a little noisy. Either way I'd check out tirerack.com, get OEM rotors (~$30 a pop), and whatever street pad you feel like trying. They have it broken up nicely into driving styles so you should be able to find what you like. Even if you don't order through them you can see what pads work best for what application. I don't have experience with cheap, non-performance pads so I can't help there. Actually, I did use PBR delux a long time ago on my eta, but I really don't remember what they were like, I was only 16 and didn't know shit, haha.

          there is a nice ebay set up with zimmerman x drilled rotor, ss brake lines, new pad sensors, axxis ceramic pads, and assembly grease thats not too expensive. They also have a non drilles set w/o lines. the worked pretty good but mine started squeaking yesterday after a long hard canyon run. I've had them on my car for about a 11 months.
