AutoZone pads for the lose... but troof about the front rotors doing most of the stopping. There might be a difference in brake dust from the Duralast though, I noticed it alot on my old EM1. Personally I would just do Hawks all around to avoid that.

Are Hawks lifetime warrantied? That's the main reason, cost saving. I run duralast on my rears and I've seen no significant dust build up, but I also have bronze wheels, so that may make it more difficult to see it *shrug.*

Unsure... I had stock EM1 wheels and they were always dirty from the brake dust of the Duralast pads whenever used them. Then I switched to the flat black rota slips and didn't care anymore.

Steph it would be great if you could help but wouldn't it take awhile to do the brakes? and I was saying my brother could help until you got off work and then you could take over. But if it's up to you and Erik on what you want to do. I figured that we would start early since Erik and I don't exactly know what we are doing that well and until you get there to help I figured it may take us awhile to do it.

No it wont take long to do the brakes at all lol. It will probably take longer to jack the car up and take the tire off honestly lol.
