Redstuff ceramics or Hawk Ceramics

I am having the hardest time choosing, i can get the redstuff for 68 bucks shipped, but the hawks ones are a tad more.. Which is better to use.. i have stoptech slotted rotors, and these OEM breaks suck.. My 18's get dust all over them, is a pain.. a little noise on breaks dont bother me cause I cant hear them over my exhaust anyways. I no ceramics doesnt give much dust so thats why..

Please help me out guys

Just go for the ceramic pads that are cheaper. They'll be better than the OEM ones anyways.

Yea i can get the redstuff for under 70 bucks shipped.. where i live in PA there is a lot of pot holes and really crappy roads so everyone tends to do a lot of braking and a lot of the time big braking cause of road damage.. Not really many smooth roads in PA where i live.. So i need something that will stop me fast and these oems suck

I can get the redstuff as cheap as the HPS because everyone charges shipping for hawks and the site i have offers free shipping for EBC bads.. and the ceramics are 6 bucks or so more than the greenstuff. I can get the redstuff at the same price as HPS with HPS+shipping..

EBC rotors IMO are awesome, it is a toss up between the HAWK and the EBC, they both are good pads.

Don't know about HAWK but from experence I've had with the EBC greens thats what I recomend. The Reds don't last as long cause they are a softer compound compaired to the greens. The reds are more for auto x racing and the greens for everyday performance.

Hope this helps.

I had the reds and I liked them... however, got rid of the car before I could tell how long they would last. Breaking was noticably better though
