Default which pads do i need

im thinking about going with some hawk pads with some new blank rotors for my 00 civic ex.

i want as little brake dust as possible. which pads do i go with? im seeing these hawk performance street compound, hawk ceramic pads, and all other sorts of pads when searching..

im pretty new to brakes so i dont know exactly what i need.

can someone tell me what i need as far as some good blank rotors and pads?

im running hawk hps pads with blanks on my eg coupe, and they work great, even when cold. i really use my brakes and they leave very little dust on the outside or inside of my wheels.

(are you on importsnc.com by chance)

I run carbotech bobcats on the street. Work very well for street use with minimal dusting. A good rain is actually enough to wash the dust off the wheels. No squealing and they have consistent behavior regardless of temp. They are also very rotor friendly. I've run them on stock ex brakes, itr brakes as well as on the 4 piston brembo TL brakes. I've always been happy with them *FOR STREET USE*.

HAWK HPS i can't say how they are on brake dust cause i run flat black rims but performance wise they are great on the street.
