Default Best brake pads?
Who makes the best brake pads? I was told Hawk performance makes good ceramic pads. Is there anyone better? Also who makes 8 piston calipers besides SSBC (who are very expensive) ?? Thnx

I have hawk ceramics on all 4 corners and they are silent and have minimal dust, which is only in the front. Great pads.
