If you define best as performance, they're not going to be clean nor quiet.

yeah, i aint really worried in stopping time-its only a 3.8 aint stopping a whole lot of power ha- i just would liek to have a pad that didnt squeel alot. I mean some is alright and is gonna happen but the ones i got know squeel constantly at any braking speed.

The stock pads really aren't that bad for daily driving chores.

Stock pads, or Raybestos Quiet Stop. I've had both, and they are both good low noise low dust options.

Thanks John. I asume i can just go to a dealership and get the stock pads? Are they expensive or pretty reasonably priced?

My hawks do not squeal at all. The dusting is very reasonable. Not much worse than stock .
