Best pads/Rotors

Hey guys,

Has this been figured out yet. Seems like an ongoing problem. I've heard bad things with just about every pad. I have Rotora slotted rotors and Axxis MM pads. In the beginning, squeeks and dust was awful, but then after my break in period, they started getting better and performance was on point. Now they started back up with the squeeks after about 4000 miles. Almost to the point where they are unbareable. I've heard bad thinkgs about Satisfied Pro, Hawks, and even EBC green stuff with Rotora rotors. So what are my options?

Thanks

I'm interested in hearing this too! I have Rotora slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads on the way so it would be nice to know what potential problems to look out for.

(Me TOO) I just put on Rotora Slotted rotors and Axxis MM pads about 200 miles ago and my rims are black from brake dust within a couple days of driving, So far I like the rotors but I am not happy with the pads so if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Thanks

Come on guys your telling me that know one has a good set of pads to recommend or am I to believe that all Ceramic pads leave break dust and squeak all the time. (Hook a brother up).

Problem is I don't think this issue has really been figured out yet, I think I heard stories on just about every Rotor and pad combo.

Satisfied Pro Ceramics are great. Good balance of bite and low dust.

That's weird I was reading up on those Pro Ceramics yesterday and they didnt get good reviews, Do you have alot of squeaks when braking and my biggest concern is the brake dust.

No squeaking whatsoever and no dust.

Maybe the people installing them forgot to use the antisqueal on the backs of the pads.
