Brake pads for street use

[04SLOBRA1]

I just had my stock rotors resurfaced and balanced due to a slight to moderate pulsation during hard braking at significant speeds. I am looking to upgrade the stock pads with a performance pad that works better than stock at all operating temps and speeds, also a pad that isn't noisy or horribly dusty. The car is used mainly on the street and a trip down the 1320 here and there - no auto cross. Any advice from your past experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Kris

Jimmy would know i hear he abuses the shit out of all kinds on the road course. anyway the hawk HPS's are a great all around pad but they tend to dust allot so you have to clean your wheels all the time

I'll be buying a set of rears soon.

Brake dust + chrome wheels + moisture = PIA to get clean again:nonono:

Flush your brake fluid.

I figured someone would have something to say about my post, just looking for an upgraded pad over stock. Thanks for your advice.

What you're asking for here really doesn't exist. Any pad you choose will be a trade off in one of these areas:

works good at cold temps
works good at high temps
works well in stop and go city traffic
works well in stopping the car from 100 mph
doesn't dust
doesn't squeal
long lasting, easy on rotors

John was simply telling you a few facts about brake pads.

FWIW

I put EBC Yellowstuff pads on my car last year. They work great cold and get better the hotter they get. They are quiet. They do produce moderate dust, or maybe a lot depending on what you are used to. They are ~$95 for the fronts and ~$80 for the rears. So far so good.

Before the EBC set I used Satisfied Gran Sport pads. They're rated at around 700F and I melted them. They worked really good on the street though: No dust, no noise, and decent stopping (much better than stock). They are cheap at around $50-$60 per axle.

ordered Hawk ceramic pads due to there suppose to be great for daily drivers.

quiet
low dusting

or I could trade off quiet for works well in high heat

Yellowstuff is amazing. They bite well.

I have had the Hawks and a couple other companys brake pads. I would have to say the best street pad for me is the Wagner Thermoquiets hands down. There quiet no dust and stop just like the factory pads. They actually stop unbelievable. There No.1 in my book and you can get them at a local auto parts store. I also have them on my SRT8 Jeep in the front which use's a Brembo braking system and there awesome on that also. Good luck
