George, I'm using organic pads and I love them. No squeal, minimal dust and only about $5 more than Raybestos. just my opinion

The pad and compounds you use will depend on the usage. If you drive on the street,parking lot racing,autocross or road racing. All these different types of driving will require a different compound. I use the Hawk Blues in my vintage race car,and am very happy. For autocrossing you would want the Hawk blacks or an equivalent pad and so on. Hope this helps-John

I am currently running the hawk HB PLUS this is a compound that gives excellent cold performance as well being useful for competition events . It was originally intended for hd trucks and suv use .
