Guys I need your advice ..
My car's front rotors are done for, and I'm looking into buying the stoptech front and back rotors, but i'm stuck on which pads to get. I'm stuck between the project mu pads and the Hawk HPS brake pads, which are better. I'm interested in whichever produces the least brake dust (at least less dust than the stock pads produce), and somewhat better braking power than the stock pads. What do you guys recommend, I'm either buying this stage 2 kit which comes with front and rear stoptech rotors and the Hawk HPS brake pads >>>>>>> http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID51101...ck-models.aspx or just buying the rotors for the front and back separately from mynismo.com and ordering the project mu pads separately.
what do you guys recommend I do..

No personal experience with the Project MUs but I do have a set of the Hawk HPS pads in front and have had them for a while. The difference in brake dust was night and day. With the HPS pads I can go a week before I have to wipe the dust off the lips of my wheels. With the stock pad, it seemed like it was almost every day. I don't do any tracking/heavy braking so I didn't noticed a difference in performance but they are advertised as a performance pad. No problems with squealing but others have posted issues with noise. I did go through the proper bedding process, which probably helped.

I told you I had the HPS and the B-Force. Hated the HPS, love the Project Mu B-Force. Basically everything dusts less than stock so that's not the real deciding factor between these two.
