Vastly superior to factory pads and NO SOOTING!!!!!

Tire Rack carries them.

I agree, Hawk HPS are excellent performance pads for the street and have almost no dust. They dust less than Axxis Ultimates. Just make sure you apply anti squeal on the back & SIDES of the pad backing plate (most of the noise actually comes from the sides not the back of the plate).

Also, upgrading tires does help significantly in allowing the brakes to do their job so make sure you go with a high quality performance tire like a Direzza Z1 & etc.

Goodridge have had leaking problems so I would stay away from them, I'm surprised tirerack even carries them anymore. Stoptech line are the best on the market and are worth it.
