I pulled off my passenger side tire today so that I could remove the stock air intake silencer. I was examining my brake pads and noticed that the will soon need to be replaced. I was thinking that I may go with a ceramic pad this time around to reduce the wicked amount of brake dust that the BBS wheels collect. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand of pads to go with?
Alot of people run hawk Street performance pads but I think they also make ceramic. http://www.hawkperformance.com/
Call frozen rotors and get a set of the hawk HPS pads. Tell Mark you are part of MNSubaru and he will get you a discount. Russ
i run hawk street performance pads w/ stock rotors currently... no dust and quiet i'd do pads and rotors at the same time btw (i like DBA rotors), my .02
i have ceramic pads on my brembo-zinc-coated-crossdrilled-oe-replacement-wrx-rotors, and wrx calipers super long titles aside they work great and i don't notice much dust at all.
Just keep in mind that the HPS street pads dust less but have less initial bite and seem to fade quicker then STI OEM pads. It's a give/take thing. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them but it's a compromise.
