andie is the bomb. Just let him know what you are looking for and he can suggest a set for you.

I've had experience with Axxis Ultimates, Hawk HP+, and Cobalt GT sports. They all get the job done. All very streetable and perform well imo at autox.

which model bendix pad are you nuts about?
theyve got a few.

they do have quite a few, but you drive an import, so you would want the import Quiet pads, the number would be " MKD273IQ " for your hatchie. :)

I've got hawk hp+ with powerslot rotors and i'm very happy.
Braking is so much better than stock. Also didn't notice much noise or dust.
