Brake pads

I ordered some Rotora rotors all 4. Now I need some pads. What is recommended that doesn't squeal, & doesn't have alot of brake dust. I did search & found conflicting answers on Axxis pads, hawk pads & stock pads.

Thanks

I used axxis metal master before and they grip like crazy, not much dust at all. but they perform very well. couldn't say how they wear as they were sold with my previous car. I don't understand why people only mention Deluxe and Ultimate on this forum. Becasue MMs are pretty good. And I'd say they're right in the middle of all 3.

I have EBC Greenstuff pads and they grip really well with the setup I have and practically no dust.

Actually I just ordered another pallet full of ROTORA rotors and with them this time I bought ROTORA's ceramic pads. This may end up being the best pad to use since Honda uses ceramic pads from the factory. This would help us avoid the situation found with the Axxis Ultimates (high dust and squealing). When I get them in and sell a couple maybe someone will give a review.

look for Etop Line seller on ebay, they have brembo cross drilled and SR (their own brand rotors and also PBR/Axxis and Pagid pads. You can pick up the pads from them localy in Toronto. I just got a set of F + R Axxis metal master for $110 CDN (they are in Scarborough around 401 and Kennedy)

So I still am in need of brake pads. How are stock pads? I can pick up a set of 4 local for cheap with a discount I can get.

Are the EBC Greenstuff pads totaly green? You can see some of the pad backing through the rims. I don't want to be seeing green.
