I have used alot of different pads. Currently I am running hawk performance pads with some power slot rotors. So far I would have to say that the hawk pads are the best I have ever used. They have a great feal to them at all times and put out the least amount dust compared to other pads I have used. Before these I was used the EBC green stuff pads, they were ok for performance but did not live up the the less dust claim. They by far have been the worst for dust. I got my hawk pads from tirerack.com for about $75 shipped. Worth every penny in my book.

 

I have been using nothing but Bendix pads on my vehicles for years now, and have had good luck with them so far.

 

I put a set of $60 or 70 or so Raybestos pads on at first. They lasted me like 14-15k miles. Not long at all and were bad about both dust and squeeking. I got tired of it and figured I'd get dealer pads to stop the squeeking. Well, the OEM Mopar ones squeek just as bad. I don't know what to recommend as I haven't found a set that doesn't squeek on here yet.

How are the Hawks? Do they squeek?

 

I personally like the ones that stop your vehicle...
But thats just me...

whatever NAPA has in stock

 

Anyone run any that don't squeek? If so what kind? I've got a good amount of life left on these Mopar ones but wouldn't be against replacing them if I could get some that don't squeek at all.

 

Mine dont squeak, they are just the El Cheapo napa ones, and they last pretty long, and they dont destroy the rotors

 

+1 for Ceramic.

They are some of the most expensive pads, but the only way to go. Best of the best.

I've heard the Wagner Ceramic pads are really good.
