My pads are at the absolute limit.... I need a new set of pads...

I actually ordered Hawk HPS from a shop but they have failed to bring me any for "3" weeks and they wanna charge $320 Canadian for labor and the pads.
I am thinking about purchasing some from Tirerack but I don't know which one to pick... I need some comments from ppl

Options:
1) Satisfied Pro Perform
2) Satisfied Pro Ceramic
3) Hawk Performance Ceramic
4) Hawk HPS (wait or buy them from tirerack?)

Thanks for any input

 

out of those, I've used Satisfied Pro Ceramic on my other car before and they were good, no dust, no noise, not as much bite as a semi-metalic but the reduced maintenance on washing the wheels was well worth it. I'm using Raybestos quiet stop on my G35 now and they are just like Satisfied ceramics, no dust, no noise, just a little bit less bite. I think all ceramic pads have these characteristics. If dust is a concern to you then ceramics are the best choice, if maximum stopping power is your main goal then a semi-metalic would be better suited, but the trade off is dust.

 

I wanted to get the Satisfied Ceramic too but it is on backorder on tirerack...
so i am still debating if i should wait

 

I would NOT go with Hawk HPS. I just installed and the brake dust is out of control.
I'm going to ceramic asap.

 

i went endless vita nuova. those are great pads. brake dust is VERY minimal. a nice blue color that matches your silver stock brakes or yellow brembo calipers and they bite HARD!!!

talk to Josh at AutoRnD....his alias here on the forums is "anotheraznguy".

i shiet you not. the endless brake pads are sick as hell.

here's a picture of my brembos with it.

 

Isn't it going to depend on which pads you can get quickly?
