Default **Need advice on performance brake pads**

I am looking for front and rear brake pads for my G2 GSR.

Which pads heat up the quickest? Are there any drawbacks about these pads aside from more brake dust? Do they squeal?

I am looking for a street pad not racing pad. I am considering Porterfields and Hawk HPS. Hawk does not make rear pads in Hawk HPS and HP Plus for G2 & G3 GSRs.

Do you guys know of a place that sells pads at a low price? I would really appreciate your knowledgeable advice.

I can't decide between the Porterfield R4-Ss and Hawk HPS.

Why do the Hawks squeak for some people? Does it still squeak with anti squeak compound applied to the backing plates and shims?

Go w/ the hawk HPS they wear well, perform well, and won't chew up your rotors

I have got AEM and they work great, also a good one is the EBC green stuff or even the EBC yellow stuff. Both of these are guaranteed not too chew up rotors and are dust free.

Hawk HPS is really good high performance street/race pad. No squeal, low dust and easy on the rotor. They work fine in street temp but will also hold up for lapping day or autox. Make sure you follow the instruction for bedding these pads.
