Does anyone know who stocks front pads for a 2014 GT500? Dealers don't have them and one or two performance shops don't have them. Hawk apparently never answers the phone and probably aren't in Miami.

I've got Hawk Performance Ceramic Pads in stock for the front and rear. Work great and lower brake dust.

While you guys are on the topic, Van and Manuel and PBH.

What pads are the best out for reducing the dust for our cars? I know there are a few options, I just want the lowest dust pads I can get.

I dont autocross or track car (other then 1/4 miles).

Thanks fellas.

I am still on my stock pads, but will be moving to Carbotech. I can't talk about Hawk's, but I had seen some members talking about the Hawk's do not cover the complete surface are of our rotors. Carbotech's have 3 different types of applications for our cars and cover all the surface area of our rotors.

Thanks Manuel,

I just want to make sure that I am getting the pads that will dust the least. Like I said I dont do track events, just street and drag.

The stock pads are terrible for dust.

I have the Carbotech ceramics on my car and get less dust in 1500 town miles than I did with the originals in 50 town miles and no squeal.

Where did you buy them from and do you have the part numbers?

I bought mine from Eric Wong at Brakeswap.The brakes pads are drop shipped from Carbotech, so you get them fresh from the factory. If you want them in black you will have to paint them yourself, they are red from the factory. They are color coded according to the compound. Mention that you heard about him on SVTP and see if he will cut you a deal.

Here is a link to other authorized dealers.

On Snoop's recommendation I did the Carbotechs in 1521 on front and rear a few months ago. I ordered from Eric at Brakeswap. You have to call him to get the better pricing. Well worth it and much less dust. Very pleased with the results.
