Satisfied Brake pads?

[AZv6camaro]

The time has come and im now in the market for some new brake pads. Iv heard good things about greenstuffs and hawks, but im not sure if I really need performance pads like that since I don't autoX or rip on the breaks to hard. I saw a segment on speedvision about Satisfied Brake pads and how they where pretty good but could not find anything when I search this site about them. My question is, has anyone used these pads before and do you like/recomend them or should I just go ahead and get the Hawk HPS's? For the price of satisfied it might be worth a shot. Heres a link to two different Satisfied Pads
OE Pads
and
Pro Ceramic

Performance Friction carbon-metallic for the front,

Generic Auto Zone brand for the back.

Good stuff, cheap too. [img]smile.gif[/img]

If you like the stock pads, maybe just get another set?

They're about the same price as pads like the Hawks or Greenstuffs ($78 front and $43 rear from gmpartsdirect.com), but you know they work well for you, don't squeak, and don't dust very badly..

BTW, if you want to give you brake fluid a complete flush, I've got a vacuum pump that makes it pretty easy. Let me know if you want to borrow it.

Well I broke down and ordered the Hawk HPS's, I figured if im going to pay as much for the stock pads, I might as well go ahead and get a better set that people really seem to like and improove the breaking. Even though I dont autocross it will be nice to have extra breaking power and who knows I might just have to give autoX a shot. It looks awesome! Jeff, thanks for the offer to borrow your vacuum pump, I might have to take you up on it because I will be flushing the sytem when I throw in the new pads. Now I just gotta grab some fluid and ill be set.
Thanks for the help guys

I am a new convert from performance friction to ceramic pads. You should give those a thought.

No problem, just let me know when you need it. It'll take about a quart of brake fluid to do the flush. If you buy ATE Super Blue, you'll be able to leave it alone for a long long time. And the blue color makes flushing real easy, once it goes from gold to nice blue, you're done with that corner. About $10 from OGRacing.com
