There is no "best". Brake pads are designed for specific applications: street/autox/roadrace etc. For the street many people here have made positive comments about the Hawk HPS. I personally use the HP+ which has more bite but dusts a lot. Race brakes on the street will have less bit because you never get them hot and they will eat your rotors.

 

I drive an FC, but that doesn't make a difference. I currently am using Hawk HP+ pads and they are amazing. I admit, they dust like crazy, and sometimes get a bit squeeky, but they last forever, and stop my car very quickly. I can easily lock my brakes up at highway speeds if I wanted to, so how fast the car stops is how well I can threshhold brake without locking them. FD's all have anti-lock right?

 

I thought all FDs had anti-lock, but I am not sure. Maybe all the US ones? I know my manual has sections for normal and anti-lock brakes.

I hadn't driven any other cars for a few weeks after originally putting my HP+ on; had already done a few autoxs too. Drove my girlfriend's Accord one morning and thought "Man, this thing just won't stop!". The HP+ don't require near the pedal pressure and I had just gotten used to them. I love the HP+, but again they are very dirty.

 

hawk hp+ is good

 

You can get the Hawk HP blues that have unbelievable stopping power. It'll make you go through a set of rotors every 200 miles, but the stopping power is amazing if you're loaded with cash. Otherwise Hawk HP+ gets my vote as well.

 

EBC-Green

 

For street use I would go with the EBC's. They claim to be dustless and work well on the street. I got a set for BATMAN to try. he likes. Although I have talked to a few guys who track and they just won't budge from their Hawks. Why change when you got a good thing going?

EBC greenstuff.
