brakes on the dak ['99, 4x4, 318]. After a search of the archives, it seems
that we spend more time OT on brake threads than talking about brakes. So,
I have a couple of specific questions:
we tend to get OT in every thread, why should the brakes ones be different?

I've got powerslots and love them, I'd recommend them. I use mine with the
Hawk HPS street pads, and they stop like a bandit, but they dust a pretty
good amount and aren't exactly the quietest pads I've ever used. It took 2
sessions of 4 coats each of that stop squeak spray to get them to shut up.
Before that they sounded like schoolbus brakes. :eek:

Ceramic pads do not dust or squeak. (well technically, they do dust, but you
can't see it) I've used them before, and they don't last as long as the
"regular" varieties, but they do stop well.
