I am looking for performance pad for 97 rs. I have axxis and hawk in mind. Which one is better in performance wise, I don't worry about brake dust and the noise. thanks for the help

i have EBC greenstuff on mine and love em, check out their red or yellow for track or all out performance

also, consider porterfield, RRE carries em, awesome perfoming pads http://www.roadraceengineering.com/

...go for the EBC's or porterfields. The Hawkes are very good pads and just as cheap as metal masters and Axxis but A LOT better in performance. I want to try EBC's other pads (redstuff et ) but I've been using Hawkes for a while. They don't fade or chew on your rotors. I know the hawkes out perform the axxis MM and MM is because I used them when I 1st installed my brake upgrade(11.75"PS w/GSX twin piston cal and RRE adapter bracket).

HP+ or HPS I have been using HP+ and love the performance on the autocross course. Most of my driving is on the street and they do wear out fast, dust like a mother and generate loads of heat on a crossdrilled rotor. I am considering using EBC greenstuff or KVR Performance for my next set.

I have the axxis metal master's with powerslot rotors. I noticed a big increase in stoppong, and very little brake dust. I took the dust shields off too, if i kept them on i'd prolly get even less dust. OK i know everyone is gonna ask, i took the dust shields off cuz i bent one with the pullers and it was rubbing, i will prolly get new ones sooner or later.

thanks for the inputs guys, I think I would go with hawk pads. Dose anyone know what's the part number for both HP and HP+ pads for RS?? Coz I can't find any information on hawk pads for RS. Is RS using the same pads as GS, GS-T or different one.

The pads for the front are the same for RS/GS/GS-T. I am not sure what the part number is off hand.

Deano I'll let you know what I think of the KVR set in a little while. Rotors and Pads showed up yesterday. If the weather breaks and it stops raining for the weekend. I might do the rear disc conversion and install everything this weekend.

I use VGX low-dust pads I got from Summit Racing

I hear AEM makes a break pads that puts off a white dust, which is great if you have white wheels and car (like me!)
