Brake Pads
 
Just wondering what brand and type of brake pads you people are using?

if it's just DD i think stock brakes, but if you were thinking people are like "oh i have project mu's, i have hawk, red stuff, green stuff etc." there's probably a few people that have that kind of thing where they track their car, or something like that. i use seidoya brakes for my 8, but i put the stocks back on when i DD.

The HPS need a little bit of heat to work to their full potential.

Hawk HP-Plus. They work good for Autocross and track. I'm happy with them.

how's the dusting compaired to stock? i hate cleaning my aftermarket wheels (16 spoke) but i want pads that are gonna have bite as good or better than stock. i need a pad that dusts less but has better stopping power.

I'm using the Hawk Performance Ceramic pads. I have been very happy with the low amount of dust that is produced. Here is a link:http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/ceramic.php

how's the bite compared to stock?

Around town my HPS's are giving me more dust than stock, especially on the rears. I'm not convinced that they are noticeably better than the stock pads for performance.

I'd thought that ceramics had less dust, but less stopping power than standard pads. They seem to be marketed more to the performance-luxury crowd.
