Don't go with ceramic (well, if you're mostly concerned about brake dust then they're fine, but performance go with a different compound). People love Hawk HPSs-good performance, low dust. Stillen.com has a Metal Matrix line that are nearly the exact same in performance and low brake dust but at very low prices!

I just bought a set from Brakemotive. Best bang for the buck especially if it's just for the street.

I would advise everyone that is strictly street duty to go with the power stop ceramic pads. They have the best blend of aggressive friction characteristics, with zero noise and virtually no dust. They are also very resistant the brake fade at high temps and gentle on the rotors. HPS pads are an OK option for those who don't mind squeal and corrosive dust.

I wouldnt run drilled. All drilled rotors will EVENTUALLY crack. I would go with either slotted and dimpled or just slotted. I run the powerstop slotted rotors and powerstop z16 ceramic pads on my SS (bought from Brakemotive) and love them.

Brakemotive has a good deal going on. I personally dont care for drilled slotted so I got blanks with the ceramic pads. Im waiting for a dry day to try them out.

I got mine from brakemotive 3 weeks ago, so far very pleased, very easy to deal with customer support and speedy delivery time (4 or 5 days can't remember). I purchased the drilled and slotted zinc plated rotors.

I did the baer 2peice eradispeeds...the replacement ones from S&K performance. They're kind of pricey but I lost 6# of rotating mass on the front and the moment of enetia on the rear seems to be lower. They bite like a bitch to.

How do you like them? Did you notice increased braking performance?

I'm planning on jumping on this deal soon too.

The only performance increase I've noticed is the usual smoother stopping when switching rotors and getting new pads. That and they look amazing. Def worth jumping on the deal though.

I've used Brakemotive on both my cars, highly satisified and you will NOT find a brake set up any cheaper.
