Hey Paul~ Scott Levine always told me to go with Performance Friction Brand pads. AutoZone or Advance Auto carries em.

These are the pads I run on the Baer kit, and they work well. Good intermediate pad (stop decent when cold, or warm) They run about $38 a pair. Hope this helps.

Hawk HPS. They have been my oh choice for street (and occasional track use) for a long time.

Hey Mike, went on line at Advance to get a set of pads for my 91 Chevy van, saw the ceramic's on sale for 23.99, reg were 38.99. Called the local Advance and he did not have them but could order them cause the warehouse still had a set. He did however say they were discontinuing the Performance Frictioin Brand and that is why they were on sale. Advance may be going out of the Performance Friction Brand business.

OBTW, howdy Paul.

Making a selection of brake pads for a daily performance driver hasn't been easy expecting best results. We all seek the shortest stopping distance in all conditions noise free no dust & long wear. I have had only OEM & Hawk HPS. Unless I hear some convincing info I will go with OEM in the future. I have no clue what oem were made of or what part number.

Might look at some heavy duty Police Crown Vic pads. I dont know they would fit, but police and taxi drivers are hard on that type of stuff. Are our brakes the same as the newer Vics?
