    Need Recommendation for brake pads

    Has anyone put the Hawk HPS on their CX-7? Tire Rack has them at a pretty reasonable price. I've read on another forum though that they are designed for lighter vehicles and might not be the best choice for a CX.

    I understand that the Carbotech Bobcats and EBC Reds are popular, but they seem a little spendy for a street pad.

    Any others to recommend? I'm not looking for a "performance" pad per se, just something for every day use.

    Thanks!

    Unless you are unhappy with performance, life or excess dusting, I would stick with OEM. I have found that unless I have a special need, that OEM pads offer the best all around features.

    I haven't been abusive on the reds yet, but WOW! They are much better than OEM. Already saved me from a deer collision.
