I've used Axxis Metal Master pads form abdracingwerks.com since day 1. I loved them. Great stopping power and virtually no dust.
Owner reviews for brake pads
I've used Hawk HPS pads on every car I've owned (4) and i've never regretted it. Its a good upgrade from OEM without to much squealing.
I'm running Akebono ceramic pads, good price, no dust and brake nice for an OEM setup.
lovin' my EBC reds. Otherwise I just put quietstop ceramics on my wifes CTS and they are def. better than stock and no dust problems either.
Update: Replaced all the brake pads with Akebono Euro Ceramic pads last week and have been squeak free since. Let's hope it stays this way. Besides being quiet, they give off low brake dust, have a nice brake feel and were reasonably priced ($130 after tax and shipping off Amazon).
I currently have Powerslot rotors with Hawk ceramics and I do like them, but they're not exactly inexpensive.
I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.
Thanks for the advise. I exchanged these for the right ones (HB190F600A). The new pads went right in with no fuss.
The bigger brakes are strong, but the gearbox is obstructive. Steering response is instant and - to your eyes anyway - the MPS corners flat and hard. But wide, high, soft part-bucket seats send the opposite message to your brain , giving the uncomfortable impression the car is rolling in corners.
i had a set of EBC greens a few years ago that cracked and actually separated themselves from the metal backing plate.
