Based on Hawk's website, the HPS pads don't fit the '06. Anyone else have suggestions on what type of pads to use?

I only drive on the street and would like a bit of a performance increase or at least less dust over the OEM pads.

Check EBC. They make really good stuff. Had some on my MSP and I loved em. Of course I coupled em with Rotora slotted rotors but together it was a great braking combo.

Thanks! Will do

No problem. You might be able to find em on www.vividracing.com. I'm not sure if they have em for the 3 yet but that's where I got mine for my MSP from.

After talking to some of you guys, the Hawk pads do fit..

Now, I need to decide between the Hawk Ceramics and the Hawk HPS pads. I'm hearing that ceramics are quieter but don't have quite the grip that the HPS ones do. I also heard that the HPS ones may wear the rotors faster - my rotors are stock.

I don't race at all...so - What do you guys think? Ceramics or the HPS pads?

Since when are the HPS loud? My brembo blanks and Hawk HPS setup right now is significantly quieter than the KVR CF and brembo drilled setup I was running previously.

They don't make a lot of noise and never squeal for me. I know the HP+ is noisy, but the HPS is totally streetable.
