Default Need some help...Need new brake pads...Poll...Hawk HP pads or Mintex pads
Also should I upgrade the rotors while I'm at it...I was thinking about getting the 13.1" slotted/crossed drilled from ECS...Any thought on that?

TIA

Mintex pads are terrible in the rain/snow...get the Hawk HPS pads

Default I have HP+ on the front and HPS on the back. It stops like a ****. Unfortunatly it also dusts and
sqeels like a ****. I put on the antisqweel stuff and it helped alot... okay some.
