I have used Hawks, and I am using Rotoras now on my set up. I was thinking about going back to OEM pads. I have slotted and crossdrilled Rotora rotors. Would it be a problem if I use the OEM pads?

 

With my last car, I had stock pad with drilled rotors and it ate them up pretty fast. Not to say it would happen on your car, but I would go ceramic. I just ordered AEM ceramic pads and Rotora slotted rotors.

 

oems are ceramic. im getting ebc green$$$, akebono proact$$, or satisfied pro$ in cost order. im still seeing what is best for me. they are for drill/slot also

did you not like the hawk pads? what were your opinions?

 

I had the hawks and they were pretty good, the Rotoras werent that bad but I dont feel like spending alot on pads. I just want some thing that wont leave to much break dust and is not noisy.

 

look into the akebono and satisfied. they are not too much money.

 

Thanks for the info. Do they produce less break dust than OEM?

 

supposedly yes from what i heard at worst about equal to. to me that great considering the better performance. let me know what you pick, maybe you can help me narrow it down.

 

So Fly TL 973 -- how did you like the rotora pads? any issues? i am switching to them soon and wanted your opinion.

thanks!

 

OEM, ROTORA, Akebono are all ceramic pads. They will all give off similar amounts of dust, which isn't much. Hawk HPS are semi metallic. EBC Greenstuffs would be your best bet for the least amount of dust.

 

I had no isses with them, They were good. I got them From excelerate when I got my rotors. Brake dust wasent that bad. I also didn't think they were noisy.

 

Sure no problem I will keep you guys informed.
