EBC Racing RED Stuff Pads: never tried them on the Dakota but on the Swift
Gti Street Rat project, the car stop less than 65 feet (60MPH). Just
amazing pads.

I don't know if Hawk makes pads and shoes for Dak's but I just put
Hawk HPS pads and shoes on the Neon since I do AutoX heavily with the car.
They definitely make a whole lot of difference!. EBC makes some
excellent produts too. I would have put EBC's on the Neon but they are
backordered until sometime in December.
