Very true, don't skimp on brake pads, rotors, and tires. they are the only thing stopping you on the road when you hit the brakes. But definitely get what you want and what you feel is the best. I always heard that Hawk HPS were good, but at the time, a good friend (like a brother) that was into imports told me to go with Project MU.

I am very happy with the Project Mu B-Force though.

I second getting real data on Project Mu vs Hawk HPS pads. Would be nice to see if the price difference possibly justified the performance/quality of the Project Mu pads.

Make sure to get some good rotors as well to pair up whichever pads you are getting.

Good luck.
