Default PBR ceramic or hawk HPS for the stock rear brakes?
Has anyone used both and how do they compare in terms of:
-stopping power
-noise
-dust
-rotor wear

Thanks!

I had the PBR ceramics on the front. I thought they worked awesome except for one thing....they squeeled like a pig under light to medium braking.

Default I just installed the PBRs all around with cross-drilled stock-size rotors
I like the brake feel and stopping ability. They do squeel like a little horny pig, though.

Default I just installed Hawk HPS with slotted/dimpled rotors on the rear. Big improvement over stock.
No noise, good "bite". I haven't had them on long enought to compare dust or rotor wear.
