Default Need help w/ suggestion on pads

I'm thinking about upgrading my brakes with SSB lines, motul fluid & new rotors but I'm unsure about weather or not I should go with Hawk pads or OEM pads. Do you guys think OEM is sufficient or should I just spring for the Hawk pads? I drive my car daily with the occasional canyon run. I don't care about dust but I do care about noise. Thanks in advance!

I would go with OEM AP2 pads. They bite a bit more than AP1 and dust a bit more. If most of your driving is around town, def OEM.

OEM AP2 pads should fit AP1s no problem right?

they are all the same, size wise

which hawks you are talking about? hps? plus? blue?

the big mega dollar question is do you track your car, if not there's no reason to use other pad than oem.

SS line doesn't really do much for our car

Hawk HPS pads. I go canyon running occasionally and have ran into brake fade a few times so I was looking for something a little bit better. Thanks for the much appreciated input.
