Default Brake pads: best of both worlds??
Inexpensive (relatively speaking) and improved performance over OEM ??

Car has 68K kms on it.
My rear pads and rotors are original and done. Fronts pads and rotors have about 25k kms on them...so they'll be good for a while.

I was thinking of just replacing the rears with OEM and be done with it, but that would be sacrilege.

Hawk HPS? Other? Is there anything similar to OEM $ but improved performance. I don't have to change the fronts, but while the car's on the hoist...

Canadian guys? Bruno?

TIA.

Hawk HPS are a nice improvement over stock and almost dustless.

I like mine too. Only a small amount of squealing when just warm...
