Ceramic Brake Pads

[Earl]

What do you guys recommend? I'm thinking Hawk or Akebono. I'm looking for something with significantly less dust and a little more bite. The pads that the PO used when doing the brakes warp when heated the slightest and they are very dusty.

Edit: Don't even know if this would be a good idea to buy and test the quality- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Rear-All-4-Drilled-Slotted-Brake-Rotors-Ceramic-Brake-Pads-E36-/320921145158?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A318ti&hash=item4ab8640f46&vxp=mtr

I've never bought pads for dust, however I have used hawk and always liked their performance and lack of squealing.

[Earl]

Hows the dust with them?

[Brian.]

Ceramic brake pads are dust free, thank god. They will squeel if you brake hard, alot. But idc. I'd rather not have brake dust issues. That any they brake HARD. I had them on my police interceptor, an that thing stopped on a dime. Then again I had 15" rotors.

Also, I just ordered my HAWK pads. They'll be here in the morning

[Earl]

Are those the red ones?

These exact ones? http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/partdetails/Hawk/brakes/brake_pads/Performance_Ceramic/19711

[Brian.]

Yup, pretty much I just put brakes in my girlfriends car. New brake feel

[Earl]

Good price? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007C7UE3M?tag=cheapchestdre-20

[Brian.]

I say go for it. Fuck price. Hawk pads are worth the money. I had them on my 76 drag truck, an that thing wasn't light. They stopped that thing in a jiffy. Do it up, an we'll have hawk pads together

[Earl]

Either that or the Akebono pads are about $50 for the front and $58 for the rear? or the full set with sensors here: http://www.bimmerbum.com/bmw-z3-akebono-ceramic-brake-pad-set-with-sensor3.html

Not sure what I should do=P

[Brian.]

Wait, your car doesn't have sensors? Mine's got sensors from the factory..

Meh. Idk man. Hawk's are super nice.

Those Akebono's are for a Z3 btw.

[Earl]

I have Z3 rear suspension by the way=D lol But I'm not sure about sensors.

[Brian.]

Gotcha. My 88' has sensors. Then again. I have power everything. Yay 5 series.
