I was wondering what other Mazdaspeed3s are running as their brake pads. I can't really make up my mind on this subject.

Just wanted to get a little more background on this topic before I end up spending my money on some new pads..

Well in the past ive used ebc green and they were great and dont have much brake dust. Back then when i read about the hawks they were supposed to be more aggressive which yeilded more brake dust and shorter rotor life.

Had good luck with green and the hawks I don't feel either will dissapoint. Not sure what I'll use next. Ebc or something new to me maybe.

Let us in on how the two compare. I am guessing you drive hard or far to use em up in six months. hahah How long do a set of tires last you!
