    Well ended up getting powerslot cryo slotted rotors for my project, now the question is pads.. What are people liking? DD Turbo car, very occasional track use (drag not autocross). Thinking Hawk HPS but want to hear from you guys what has worked and not worked on your cars. Not a fan of tons of brake dust but a little is ok. EBC redstuff was my other main thought but I have heard conflicting reports on them. Any others that I am missing that I should consider? Fbody fronts gxp rears.. Thanks!!

    With those rotors, go with the pads made for them: Hawk HPS. I've run these pads and rotors for a number of years and LOOOOVE them. They last forever, stop like you just threw the Enterprise out your trunk, and do not squeal like a stuck pig. The downside? They are really aggressive pads and will dust the f* out of your rims. Hawk makes the HPS for the FBody as well.

    x2 Will be looking for pad too soon. I've had pads before that dusted like mad (believe they were Duralast....autozone cheapies i'm sure), and hoping to find some that don't.

    EBC will destroy your rotors.

    Hawks seem to be decent but cost alot.

    I really like the ADO's from napa, would be great on DD car.
