Brake Pads

Not sure if this is a good place for it but if not mods please feel free to move!

Okay, well after doing some researching and what not I found alot of information on Hawk pads. HPS or Ceramic still undecided which one would work best. I do mostly drives back n forth to work and what not. Some spirited driving but thats on the rare occasion.

Now after speaking to a local mechanic he was telling me about these Wagner Thermo Quiet brake pads. I know Wagner does alot of OEM brake pad applications, but I havent heard anything about them. How do they stack up against Hawk? I think theyre more like the Cermaic hawks but I am unsure.

Of these three which do you guys recommend? Man i hate the OEMs on the car, sorta making me wonder about Wagner.

Both are good. I have Hawk on my Corvette and Wagner on my LS. I like ceramic because your wheels stay clean.

I only have 20 miles on my TSX, but I will replace them in the next week or so for the reason stated above.

The ceramic ones still dust, but the dust is lighter in colour.

I might have asked this before, but, are you using them with OEM rotors?
