UPS is bringing my Goodridge SS Brake Lines on Friday so I want to order these so I can get them installed ASAP.

Any opinions before I place the order tonight? I'm also debating between getting the Street Performance for the fronts or just going with the ProACT to match the rears.

Id go with hawks if anything. I had hps + (basically the most agressive compound available) on the front of my 90 corolla and that thing never had fade issues and stopped very short. Make sure to get the brembo blank rotors too

i had hawk brake pads on my civic b4 and they were great. akebono is a great company but i'd rather stick with hawk...only if they made anything for the gen2...tirerack said they did and they sent me the wrong pads and lied about a bunch of crap

I just replaced my front brakes a few weeks ago with the help of David aka trdkamuri510. I got Brembo Blanks and Akebono ProAct pads and they're pretty good. I haven't driven my car much to see about the dust but the stopping power is much better than what I had before.

Thanks for the responses... More votes for the Hawks so I went with them for the fronts instead of the Akebono. I'll let you guys know how it turns out once they're installed.
