Need Brake Pads That Really Work?

Just thought ya'll might like to know, our friends at the Tire Rack now carry Hawk HPS brake pads to fit FACTORY Alero calipers. These pads work great, and I use them year-round on my car (incidentally, rear Hawk HPS pads for a 99-03 Grand Prix fit perfectly also). Probably the best compromise between streetability and trackworthy-performance I've come across.

good to know, too bad i just did my brakes and have bendix ones <_<

i just redid mine too but i think im willing to redo cause i want crossdrilled/sloted rotors adn such
cause my BRAKES ROYALLY STILL SUCKASS

What type of material is it? I thought ceramic pads were the best for streetability and track-use, is this more or less true?

Really the best rotor for track and street use is carbon-ceramic, because they work at all temperatures, are lighter and can absorb more heat than iron, but they're very expensive and nobody would make them for a ho-hum alero, so I suppose that's a moot point.
