Default ? on new brake pads

Ok I about down to 80% worn on my front pads...I was wondering who has gone to diff. pad NOT Big brake kits but just pads or pad and rotors. I am looking for something that doesn't have so much brake dust, but I need to be able to stop very good. Not to expensive. I just wanted to get some opinions on
this.

good price on front pads?

good price on front rotors?

and where to find them and prices


thanks

i have Satisfied Pro Ceramic Pads from tirerack.com and there great. Low dust. No squeaking and braking performance is about the same. they cost about $50/axle


Most people seem to recommend the HAWK HPS. Some people have problems with them squealing so i decided to stay away

I got REALLY tired of the brake dust with the stock brake pads. I changed over to the Hawk HPS pads that I bought from www.raceshopper.com. No more brake dust. No noise. I didn't need to do the rotors.

Hope this helps.

We sell rotors, I would say go with stoptech or rotora, stop tech are cheaper i think, but damn good rotors.

Go with the HPS's. They are the street compound. You will get squeal with the HP or HP blue and they will not stop well when cold.

I prefer ebc greenstuff over the hawks for the street. for the track brembos, I had to grind down the edge of one front hawk hps pad and all 4 front hp+ pads to even get them to fit in the caliper. EBC makes far less dust than hawk hps also. I'm happy with the hp+ on the track, as dust and noise don't really matter there.

I have tried both Satisfied and Hawks and I like them both. Satisfied pads seem to more smooth braking than Hawks. As for performance I think Hawks have little more bite but nextime, I am going to try Satisfied again.
