OK guys, I'm looking to get some new pads and rotors up front. I'll most likely do the rears later.

Right now I'm thinking of going with Powerslot rotors and either:

a)Hawk HPS Street

or

b)EBC Greenstuff (would eventually have to go with OE or Hawk for the rear set since EBC doesn't make Greenstuff for the rear of the 240SX)

Any comments on either of those pads? Feel free to offer alternate pad and/or rotor choices. This will be for a street car and some "spirited driving". The car won't be seeing any track time in the near future.

I'm not really concerned with dust, but decent rotor life would be a plus. Good cold performance would be nice too, since this *is* a street car.

Thanks!

I like my axxis metal masters, good pedal feel, very low fade for the stock system(even from 110mph to 0!) and has worn pretty good so far.-chetpowerslot and brembo rotors are always nice. Hawk pads are mucha nice, but I wouldnt mix a hawk front pad without changing the rear, some brakes pads are "friction material matched" meaning they must be replaced as a set..
