Default OEm brake pad replacement

Can someone recommend a good aftermarket brake pad to replace the oem one?

Can't beat the OEM's for the street. For track or auto-x, check out the Marketplace for the Cobalt's.

Yep, depends on what your needs are. I can sell you any number of replacements, including OEMs, but it helps to know what you're looking for in a pad.

Our brake pad aisle is here: http://www.gofastlab.com/s2ki/customer/home.php?cat=15

I'm looking for something with a little more bite and less dust than the OEM pads. But yeah it's gonna be mainly for the street. Those Hawk pads looking kinda interesting to me.

Nothing dusts less than the OEM pads. Nothing.

More bite = performance pad= more dust. It's really as simple as that.

We're running a sale on the Cobalt GT Sports right now. They're a better pad than the Hawk HPS or HP+ but they dust more and might make a little noise. They do have a stronger initial bite than the OEMs though. For a "mainly street" pad, the Axxis Ultimates are more aggressive than the OEMs. They can stand up to abuse much better but again, they're gonna dust on you more than the OEMs.

Looks like you're going to have to make a choice between dust and performance
