SilverAudiMike Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 What replacement brake pads are most of you using? Ive heard good things about the Hawk HPS pads, but I want something with lower dust I think. Tell me what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I have the stock Z06 pads. HAWK are better pads though but alot more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hawks are nice, but they do seem to make alot of dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1647545496 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 i have performance friction Z-rated and there is hardly any dust and no squeeling. if i was rich i would buy carbotechs http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/pdfs/112.pdf http://www.hawkperformance.com/docs/catalog_current.pdf the HP plus temperature range is 100-800 deg F at mid ohio my brake temperature was 500 deg after the cool down lap so i'm not sure what the peak temperature would have been but since you don't road race or auto-x you shouldn't need anything to fancy. just make sure you put some good fluid in. remember to keep your wheels clean from the corrosive brake dust. and break them in properly.

Farkas Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Can't go wrong with Hawk. Keep in mind, generally the better pads you buy will always generate more brake dust because of the compound used to make them.. and vice-versa Find a happy medium, cosider what's the car's general purpose and decide.
