I need to replace front brake pads on my 2003 lancer oz without any mods , any suggestions which ones would give me better braking power with minimum brake dust.

Thanks ...

I would recommend Hawk street pads and EBC rotors. I have been running that setup for a while and it works great. Little to no dust, and great stopping power.

Are those ceramic or carbon?

The set I have is carbon, but they do offer a ceramic set.

This is a great question.....Im looking to replace/upgrade my brakes & rotors as well. Do you remeber where abouts did you purchase those carbon sets from?

Here is a picture of my brake setup. Hawk pads and EBC rotors.

what alternatives would you suggest instead buddy?


zbailey; do you know if those rotors fit an '02 ES?

The Hawk ceramic will cut down a lot on dust and noise, but won't offer a lot of bite in the higher heat range. The Hawk HPS will handle more heat and have better higher heat sink bite, but toss more dust.

I ran the HPS on my Brembo car and they were less dust that the oem Brembo loaded pads, and stopped better. I run the ceramic on my car now and haven't had to wash the wheels for a month, but they don't do as well if I really heat them up. Depends on where you want to draw the line.

I don't get why people take dust into consideration when looking for brake pads. If you want to stop on a dime, get Porterfields carbon kevlar pads.

I ordered HAWK HPS - Ferro-carbon compound part number HB438F.606

for $63.54 shipped on www.partsgeek.com

I will let everyone know how they perform

They very decent. Not as good as the Porterfield, but they're good pads.
Porterfields are a b!0tch to get where I'm located, so Hawk HPS are what I usually run.

EBC Rotors W/ Green Stuff. Thats my set-up. Hope i can change the pads W/ the Project MU's since their also great on pads.
