I'm fed up of the brake dust on the front wheels so will be changing the front pads within the next week or two. A local aftermarket vendor in Toronto has suggested Satisified Ceramic pads for CAD$175 (about US$140). I thought about Hawk HPS because it seems to be a popular choice on this site but due to the inconsistency with people reporting brake squeal, I'm just not prepared to take the risk that the HPS will be noise free.

I'm not worried about increasing brake performance over stock. I'm only interested in a quiet pad for street use with significantly less dusting. With that being said, does anyone have a reason why I should not go with the Satisfied Ceramic pads that have been recommended to me?

 

well i have them. About same amount of noise as stock. Hardly any brake dust. But i will say it might be slightly worse stopping performance. but not much.

so basically. you have no brake dust over slightly worse performance over stock.... they should also last longer
