Add another vote for Hawk HPS. If you have brembos you have to file the side of the front pads slightly to fit correctly but after a quick 5 minute fix, these pads are great, MUCH less dust over stock, with the same amount of bite imo.

When you say you have to file the sides for them to fit, will it be obvious where I need to file when I try to stick them in? Thanks every one for all your input, I appreciate it!

Same problem and also fading at track events. Changed to Hawk HPS and DOT 4 fluid - cured all my woes! Bought from buybrakes.com where the cost of a set of 4 corners was half the price of a set of OEMs!
