Default Which brakes pads for my daily driver?
Didnt find much info except a thread that CivicSiracer vouched for AEM pads.
Just need a replacement for my daily driver. Any recommendations welcomed and has anyone tried any of the following?
AEM
EBC (green)
Hawk
Axxis

i have PBR organic pads on all four corners, ran me around 40 for each set. they're really good but they are a little dusty.

Hawk HPS should do fine. AEM arent too shabby either. Havent heard much good things about EBC green... and AXXIS are worthless unless u get the Ultimates.

I've run AEM for my last two sets. I have had no problem with them, plus the dust they put out is a lighter color so it doesn't show up as much.

I have some EBC greens and Im not sure if its cuz i haven't washed my car in a few months or what, but the fronts look a little bit dusty. I could prolly just hose them off. Other than that, they work great.

I'm running Axxis Ultimates and am very happy with them. They do dust a lot but my wheels are gunmetal colored so it's not too noticeable.

The EBCs were crap. Hawk HPS will dust and squeal like crazy.

I'm using AEM pads on my 1991 Civic Si and haven't lost an autocross yet since April.
