Default HPS or ceramics??

which one is the better one. From thier description they both shorten distance, reduce brake dust and noise. The ceramic says it works well w/ abs which I dont have anyway. But the cost diff for the 4 wheel set is like 15.00, so Im not sure which is the better one??
I dont autoX or drag, just fun freeway driving. My stang is not my daily driver though so I wouldnt mind any harshness

Hawk HPS pads or their ceramics? I would get Satisfied Brakes Co. Pro-ceramic pads or GS6 pads, which you can get from advanced auto parts online store with free shipping. Fantastic pads that rock.

I like the HPS pads. I use them for daily driving and autocross. I'm on stock cobra pads right now from the upgrade, I can tell that the stock cobra pads don't have as much initial bite and as linear modulation as the HPS pads even though the cobra brakes provide a very large improvement over stock brakes.

If you go their online store they actully carry a very wide rang of products and thats where I got my awesome pads. Less dust, more bit,less fade, no noise. And they were the cheapest place to get them to boot with free shipping.
