I've heard good things about the Porterfield R4S but I dunno if they make the pads for the Tiburon.

what do you consider decent priced? I just switched up from EBC greenstuff to Hawk pads... while pricy at around $70 for the fronts and a little less for the rears.. they really stop the car nicely

I got the new monroe front and back. A set for the front is 60 and back is 50.

They are decent peformance pads as stated in their commercial.

As for brake dust, I haven't noticed much at all.

I also have metalmaster pads. They are cheap, effective and i agree that they produce a LOT of brake dust. Gotta clean those rims every week.

this morning I was out on the way to get some work done when a car pulled out infront of me. I just tapped the brakes hard and locked up all four wheels.. I guess the combination of hawk pads, slotted rotors, and the braided lines really does make a difference.
