These will be going on my car when the OEM pads wear out.

For pads, try Porterfield R4-S pads and get Centric "premium" rotors, but if you have cash to burn, get DBA rotors. For street driving, the R4-S has good bite, lasted almost 50K miles, does not squeak like h@!! (think carbon kevlar...), and it does not leave a black dusty mess on the rims. Those R4-S pads are almost as good as Pagid "yellow" pads when I used to drive a certain "other brand" car. Cheers...

Brake Pads
Hands down across these forums Hawk Ceramic brake pads seem to be the chose ones. I recently put them on my TSX and I think the high speed braking has great bite. Low speed you will notice a modest difference.
The brake do not squeek, I got them from Tirerack, but they do produce more dust then the OEM's

Could you guys pls post from where you are getting the brake pads from ?? (ebay / online retailers or B&M Stores ?? )
Initially i thought of buying Axxis ULT and after reading the posts in this forum i am now thinking abt getting either Hawk HPS or EBC Green Stuff..
And i am planning to use them on the OEM Rotors ( as i am not replacing my rotors)..
Thanks

Some people bash them because they say they squeak a lot, but I havent really noticed. I havent noticed any squeaking at all within the past year. Seems to only happen as their getting broken in. They will stop you in a big hurry if you need it. Love em....
