      There are lots of good pads out there. We typically run Hawk HPS or HP+ on street cars with manual C5/C6 brakes if dust isn't a concern. Neither the HPS nor the HP+ are that bad IMO, but dust doesn't bother me too much...they're no where near as dusty as most of the track pads available and much better when cold.

      Pads are such a subjective thing since no two drivers are the same. Aside from your vehicle specifications, how and where you mostly drive, and your budget should all be taken into consideration when selecting pads. Some are more than happy with the cheapie local auto parts stores offering...others prefer something a little more exotic. For those of us who only drive our cars less than a couple thousand miles per year, performance usually trumps other consideration such as rotor wear, dust, pad life, etc.

      Thanks. I called Wilwood and Frank from Prodigy today. I think I'm going to try the 7/8 Master from wilwood. See how that works. If I don't like it or don't have enough pedal I'll prob go with the 12" setup from wilwood setup for manual brakes. I also have my Hydroboost for sale If anyone needs/Wants one.
