I have 14 inch brembos on front (FTBR brembo kit) with slotted rotors and flotating hats and ferodo ds 2500 pads and brake ducts; i have the 13 inch FTBR with slotted rotors on the rear with hawk HPS pads. All with SS lines; the cobra stops quick and no brake fade...ever :)

If you do a search there is a vast amount of info on this subject.
However, after my research I still can't make up my mind. I really want the Baer erradispeeds rotors but for $595 front and $495 rear that's a lot of $

I use some slotted rotors from rotorpros.net

They are cost effective, and start life as centric blanks - which are very good products for the money.

Powerstop rotors and pads here. I high temp painted the hats and slots to improve the look. They come zinc coated.

I just did the centric cryo. Rotors and power stop pads and I'm happy. I think the rotors were 200ish and pads were 100ish I don't plan on road racing so its fine for me.

So far just Hawk HPS pads front and rear for me. Still have a few things on my list before I go through the whole brake system. But as far as the pads go, much better bite than OEM and dusting is almost non existent. Then again, I don't really beat on my brakes either.

So your seeing almost no dust with Hawk HPS pads?

I have EBC yellowstuff pads, they stop incredible but dust like crazy. My powerstop pads work really well and very low dust.

My HPS pads dust Like it's going out of style, but I would rather have dirty wheels than a wrecked vehicle if it came down to it.

Hawk HPS pads front and rear
Powerstop drilled slotted rotors in the front

He must have gotten the only set of HPS that doesn't dust.

:lol: Well, I don't drive the car super hard and it only gets maybe 3-4k miles a year and lots of washes over that time. So apparently I'm just washing it off before it accumulates.
