which Hawk pads to get

I posted the same question a couple of months ago. I am looking at getting replacement pads for the front for my 14 GT with Brembo brakes. My car is strictly street driven. My main point in replacing the front pads is because of brake dust. I have narrowed it down to Hawk pads. Which one though, the Hawk ceramic pads, Hawk HPS pads or the newer Hawk HPS 5.0 pads? I have the HPS pads in my BMW 540 and knows that it give out less dust than the OEM BMW pads. Is the HPS 5.0 better than the original HPS pads and the ceramic pads?

HPS 5.0 are ferro-carbon so expect some dust. If you're looking for less dust 100% ceramic is the way to go.

Agreed, I have the Hawk HSP and I'm getting virtually no dust at all. They stop great and are very quit. Check out Autoanything.com for pricing, when I was shopping for them they had the best price by far.
