Default Brake Pad Recommendations

I will be needing to replace all 4 of my brake pads on my 98 TA. Im looking for pads that have great performance and create little or no brake dust. Ive been looking at Hawk HPS Brake Pads. Anyone run these or know anything about them? If you dont like these what do you recomend?

I just put the hawks on my rears Monday...drove the car twice since and they seem to be working real nice.

Haven't heard much noise except for the initial break in

I'm running Raybestos pads... ceramic front, metallic rear.
Very little dusting, been very happy with them.

I have the Hawk HPS pads out front. I love em. Stop great. The only thing is that they are really loud. You hear every stop squeak down to a halt. Doesnt bother me but it may bother some.

i did hawk hps pads and rotorworks drilled and slotted rotors about 500 miles ago they are nice so far smooth good braking the other day it squeeked a little but i think it was just because of the outside temp. otherwise nice
