All this said I have the Hawk Performance Ceramic and they are very clean. They stop very well and I'd buy them again. Take a look at Hawk ceramic if you don't want dust.

Even if the blanks are better, if I went slotted/drilled brembos would it be that much difference from blanks(if I used same pads). Also, whats with these rotoworks from ws6store, they seem to be cheap... any one have these?

So let's review. You start slicing and dicing a by design blank. You loose swept area as well as mass, and this is somehow better for the braking ability of the car.
Nope.

We sell 3 pads with frequency. PBR's, Hawk HPS and Hawk HP+. Between them we pretty much cover all the bases. I also use Hawks and PBRs on my own car. YMMV

PBR are semi-metallic pads, made by the same folks who built your calipers (as well as those on C4-C6 Corvettes too). And the compound is the same basic one that came on the C4 HD brakes (the 13" ones). They just work well. Nothing super-duper earth shattering, and we don't claim them to be. Just a pad that is very, very similar to an HPS for less money. They just don't have a rear, so I still use HPS rears.
