I didn't like the feel of HPS.

 

are your front brake lines cut? lol every pad should have SOME degree of dusting...

 

too much dust, not enough stop, IMO. I use OEM pads for the street and race pads for the track. No compromises that way. It takes me around 20 mins to swap out before an event. I won't lie..it's a pain sometimes. But the end result is always worth it.

No squeaky, dusty pads on the street beating the crap out of my rotors, no faded pads set on fire at the track. I've set a few OEM pads on fire. It's awesome to see after you finally stop....but it sucks when you're in a panic because you can't stop.

 

The ebc pads are worse, the Ax6's are worse.

 

Pretty much what everyone has said here, but the EBCs that I currently have on my DA9 are great on stopping, but excessively dusty. Plus the dust isn't black, it has an orange hue to it, so my wheels, tires, everything is now slightly orange. Its also a PAIN to get it off if you let it sit for more than a week! So keep that in mind!

 

I was very happy with the Hawk HP pads on my old AP1. Almost no dust and they seemed very similiar to the OEM pads. This was all on the street, no track time.

 

ok maybe not NO brake dust but i could not wash rims for 3 weeks and they'll still look clean

 

sounds like I'll be investing in some ap1 pads pretty soon. . .
