OEM or Hawk pads
hi i have a noob question to ask everyone...should i jsut get stock ceramic brakes instead of hawks (street)?
i have the stock rotors right now and dont plan on doing an upgrade to 4 piston front and 2 piston rears until around august....the only thing im scared of is right now my stock brakes are squeaking and if i change the brakes to stock ceramics will the squeaking go away? and is there alot of brake dust?
sorry if this is in the wrong forum, just opened this account =(

Best Pads for our cars....!
Why would you go to the TireRack for pads when you can purchase them right here on Driver at a better price? Just check our Marketplace and find a vendor that sells brake parts. The Hawk HP pads are soooo much better than OEM pads they last twice as long and you'll have very little brake dust to deal with. Project Mu pads are also very good pads, flip a coin....
Do a search and find the breakin/bedin process for the new pads, takes 15 minutes and you'll eliminate any brake noise/squeeks...very important!

I don't know how Mike doesn't have brake dust. I have stock pads with a ish ton of dust. Hawks are definitely the way to go. I'm just waiting till the OEM's are shot. Which might be soon as my rotors are starting to shudder at high speeds. I'll see if I can get them turned...

oh, sorry - too many Mikes in this world
Well I'm with you, I dont know how that Mike doesnt have dust... its been one of the primary complaints about the car (03-04 at least)... I think they changed pads in 05, so maybe they dont dust as much?... I know the 3 yr 36K free brake replacement was 03-04 only... it's possible he has an 05-06? (I didnt look at his sig).
Edit: I just saw he has 06... that probably explains it.
