I would recommend either the Porterfield R4-S Street Performance Pads or the StopTech Street Performance Pads. I would say the Porterfield's are a bit more popular, but you cannot go wrong with either choice.

If you're looking for an overall great performing brake pad that also has less dust (than stock) and noise, I would recommend the Cool Carbons.

[romi12]

what you guys think about the Hawk HPS Street Performance?

[roundle]

Pagid Blue would be my top choice.

unfortunately this question is like asking what’s the best soda or burger. Many different tastes will lead to different answers. Every recommendation here so far is not bad per say, but all the pads mentioned are all slightly different in how they perform and what not. Decide what it is you are looking for from the brakes when you say "best" and then make an informed decision from there.

For example if it is a street only car and you want no brake dust but are willing to give up a bit of performance/ initial bite then some ceramic pads may be the way to go.

there are a lot of threads on here with fairly good descriptions of what each pad brings to the table. Check it out before making a purchase so you are not unsatisfied.

imo no pad is the best, they all have pluses and cons. pads that don't dust will have lower stopping power, pads that do dust will have better, etc...

We have the whole Hawk Performance Line up for OEM fitment.

Feel free to sift through the details of each and decide which one fits you best.

They are already priced to sell. http://topgearsolutions.com/Categori...Category_ID=23


There is really no answer of what is best, its kind of like whats the best color of a car, they all have their advantages and disadvantages.

I've ran the HPS and HP+. I recommend the HPS to most people.

It's hard to define "Best", it may be best to one person, but not to another.

What I can tell you is that we have had good experience with both Porterfield R4S and Stoptech Street Performance pads so did our customer who bought them for street use.
