Which brake pads?

Time to put some new pads on the L, wondering what everyone is using. Thinking of going with the Hawk ceramic pads. Are these worth the price or should I go to autozone and get some ceramic pads there? I'm only replacing the front.

Thanks,

I used the HAWK HPS pads. I would stay clear of the ceramics ...may crack your rotors if you're heavy on the brakes.......others can explain better than I can what happens.

Why not just use the OE pads? The Hawk HPS are good but are dusty.

How much does a set of OE pads run? I figured they would be really expensive but I could be wrong.

No more ceramics for as they did put cracks in my rotors. I went back to OEM just a few weeks ago but I don't remember what they charged me for the pads.
