All the hawks ive had dust pretty bad, but seem to stop ok. I will be going with something different next time.

For you guys looking for improved braking, I highly recommend the hydroboost swap.

google "Praise Dyno" and give those folks a call...as I mentioned I'm more than happy with my brakes from them, definite improvement over stock.

Input...please?

Thoes are the EXACT ones i have right now and to be honest, they dont dust THAT much and they work really damn good. In fact im about to order another set right now ( which kinda nigates the whole point of this thread)

Been looking into the EBC's...which "color" designation would you suggest? Green looks to be their factory replacement type pad, whereas the yellow looks to be a decent upgrade. Their page is a little, different...lol.

Experience and suggestions with EBC? Thanks!!

ok seeing is how i live two towns over from where porterfield is located, i think im just going to go with them. my only concern is how long they are gonna last. How long has your porterfield pads lasted and which ones did u use? I ask because porterfield makes race pads and i wanna make sure that they arnt gonna be soft to the point that they will wear out in 20,000 miles.
