Default I need new brake pads. What are some good pads?

I am getting some new slotted and drilled rotors..

What are good break pads

I am looking at these:

Hawk HPS
EBC YellowStuff
EBC RedStuff

Which are better?

I read that the YellowStuff pads are not too bad on your rotors.

Wrong place to post.

What kind of driving do you do? Street only? Track?

what do you plan on doing with the car? track? dd?
what are you looking for? performance? useage?

Depends, what are you planning on doing with them. All street, street / spirited driving, some auto-x, perhaps more Guessing you are talking about street so for that I like the Axxis (PBR) Ultimates. Pretty mild, quiet, average dust, and good pricing.

Nismo is one of the best combo's for both street and track. I use Endless SSS for street/track as well... better than OEM and far less dust.

I need a set of pad as well. And my friend recommends EBC red stuff. But if you just want them for normal driving then generic ceramic pads work well, too...

I've never used them on the track, but I do like to do some spirited driving on 'group drives' and whatnot so I picked up some Endless Vita Nuova pads. They've got great bite, wear nice (same as stock as far as I can tell) and don't produce much dust at all. Got 'em from mynismo.com. I believe Endless also gives you a diagram of each pad and how each one rates in different areas, such as stopping power, dust, longevity, etc. Hope that helps.
