Time for new brakes

Which brakes pads work the best for a DD? Hawk any good?

Stock is never a bad idea for a DD.

Hawk HPS is pretty good on the street. I had them on a previous car and they did fine. If anything they were a little bit grabby when cold.

When I changed my brakes I just went with some Wagner brakes. Was that a bad idea?

Not if you don't track the car.

Even my OEM Brembos wouldn't last long on track compared to full race pads. But they drive a helluva lot better on the street.
