    Hawk HPS. If anything get them for the reduction in brake dust.

      if you want less noise, go with ceramic pads.. should run you bout $40 or so for the fronts, though not sure bout the rear. also, make sure that you properly heat cycle the pads when you first install them. not doing so will create hard spots in the pads that will cause noise. ceramics are also known for vast reductions in brake dust. Autozone carries Morse ceramics, i believe advanced has bendix.. Pepboys carries raybestos i think, but i'm not sure.. they are all very similar in performance... good luck with the upgrade, its not hard at all...

              I'm currently usin' full Cermaics on the front, an' feel like they're scarry ineffective, 'til they get good an' hot...which is damn near impossible 2 do...unless U drive like an idiot. Also, if U use these, B wary pullin' outta' carwashes or tryin' 2 stop in hard rain. Yes...I drive in the rain. Lord, Strike Me Down!

                I'm running EBC Redstuff, and my car has finally stopped squeaking after over a year. Good stopping power too
