Break pad recomendation? EBC Yellow Stuff? Hawks HPS?
I need to replace my brake pads, and was wondering what brand/model people recommend. My car is an 03' Touring and I have the stock non-brembo breaks. My current pads squeak a lot until they get warmed up. From what I read from other posts it sounds like that's not necessarily a problem, but it is annoying.
I don't take my car to the track or anything like that. So what pads do you guys recommend? I'd definitively prefer as set that doesn't squeak as much as my current breaks. I've search around the forum and seen Hawk HPS, and EBC Yellow stuff mentioned a lot. How do these compare? Any other brands/models I should consider?

I use EBC red stuff. Its for street use, but for hard driving. It doesn't squeel and leaves little brake dust if any at all. I've had them on my car for the past 25k miles or so. I'm going to be installing new EBC Redstuff brakes and EBC dimpled rotors (these dont warp). I previously used the oem rotors and they are getting pretty warped with the ebc brakes.

I hear that HAWKS squeak, but that's with the brembo brakes
I went with the GiroDisc, but I don't do any hardcore racing, but they are a moderately aggressive street brake, but best part is that there is NO SQUEAK on the non-brembo brakes and even better, compared to the OEM, I have about 10x LESS brake dust and my wheels stay clean all the time

HPS has sucking stopping power lol. But indeed, they produce less brake dust. I have HPS front and STOPTECh high perf pads rear.I think the stoptch gives good stopping power although they r in the rear. They produce brake dust ALOT eventhough they are on rear. I drove the car like 2 miles and whew...very noticeable brake dusts. I can't imagine how much dusts it would make for front..

I'm currently running on these... Before I had HPS. This one seems better than the HPS. Ionno personal preference I guess...
