Question can someone recommend brake pads?

hey,
i need new brake pads on my rx-7. I dont know much about the different brakes suppliers and am not really sure which ones are good or not. Could someone tell me what pads are good or not? Thanks.

if it's a total street car with some fun here and there, hawk HP street, if you take it to track days or hard hard canyon carving, hawk HP Plus (great pads but dust a lot)

the EBC greens are good too but they will fade on a track after some use.

For all the above items, to to www.tirerack.com Great service and prices.

I had the Axis Metal Masters on my 89, and I loved them.

I say the Hawk HPS for s mostly street car. They still have enough bite for autocrossing or whatnot, and are friendly enough on your rotors.

EBCs will give too much fade if you ever drive hard.

Mazda Speed has brake pads, which I want to get next after I'm done with my EBC green pads.
