    I know there is a bunch of threads on this topic, but everyone has a differrent idea. I have an 07 Magnum that needs new pads. It is my daily driver and wear and non grooving of the rotors are the most important things to me along squeeling. Yes I would like to have less dust and good stopping but they would be a close second. From what I have read brakeman and Hawks seem to be the two that would work for my application. I do not go to the track or race so I do not need throught the windshield stopping. Do you guys have any input becasue the low pad marker squeeling is about to drive me nuts.

    Is your Maggy an SRT? Bendix (sp?) seems to be a good priced set, but the dust is still there. I run the EBC Yellows with slightly less dust and great grip. I have herd of rotar cutting though with them.

    I faced the same question. After much typing and searching I found "Posi Quiet" Pads at www.zeckhausen.com. I followed his directions for "Bedding" and I couldn't be happier.

    I get good performance, no squealing ,and, these pads actually cleaned up the mess the dealer installed pad made of my rotors . Another BIG bonus, I don't need to clean my rims every day. These pads are not available here in Canada but are made here for USA distribution. For me the extra shipping and import costs incurred was worth it.

    If you have an SRT 8 you want to use The Brakeman #93's - a performance pad for a performance car, otherwise, you can use The Brakeman #91's a Ceramic Pad ( for R/T )

    StopTech Street Performance brake pads are StopTech's newest formulation, offering an unusual combination of high bite, low noise, and extremely wide temperature range, making them ideal as "dual use" street to medium track pads. These are the standard brake pads for StopTech's big brake upgrades and have recently become available for many OEM applications. These are Zeckhausen Racing's new preferred high performance street pads.

    X 2 I love the Posi Quiets from Centric. I too got them from David Zeckhausen.
