im in the same boat too, so i thought it would be handy having all the options in one place

Hawk Performance Ceramic.

Had them all round in my Gen2 GT with '08 spec B brakes. Did track days and driver dynamic days in them with no fade and bugger all dust on normal driving.

As soon as I need new pads for the Brembo's these are going in. You can get them form the States cheap.
