I totally agree with the Hawk Pads opinion. Between my Group Buy Slotted rotors and the hawk pads... my tib has great brakes. Good initial bite when first applied and they only clamp down harder from here.
In comparison, most every other car I have driven sense has really bad brakes. ESPECIALLY my mom's sunbird.

Nah, get greenstuff pads, front and rear.
Also, EBC (Folks that make greenstuff), also make rotors for us, for a pretty good price.

I have hawk on the rear, I could always lock up my tires so i am not going to do anybrake upgrades except new front pads when needed, if you do long races, not autox then maybe get slotted rotors so you can keep them cooler

That's where I got the rear Greenstuff's for Zman, like $49 bucks for a set.

Good prices, and s/h is free over 150 bucks.
