Hey Mark,
How much are the AX6s?

 

[Grisoman]

Very happy with my Hawk's, especially the low dust.

PM'ed you for price, can't post here.

Brakeman 3's are also a better than stock option, lots of bite

EBC Reds. Less dust for me and better grip. No squeal either.

Thats what I have on my Viper and they put out ZERO dust, and zero noise but they dont stop for ****. The Stock pads had better bite.

Which Hawk pads are you running? i have heard good reviews on them. i think the Carbotech's are out of my price range.

I ran the EBC yellows at Road atlanta, didn;t take them off when I got home like I had planned, and they are working nicely on the street.

I thought I read a while ago that they changed the formula of the EBC Reds and that Yellow is now preferred .... Did I just say that yellow is preferred .... Yuck

EBC yellow stuff are fairly ok for mild track use, a little noisy on the street. Brakeman #3 are better on the track, and alot noisier on the street. Mintex-front / Brakeman#3-rear is a killer track combination, squeals like crazy on the street. EBC red stuff are street only, assuming you need the brakes to work at an HPDE. Hawk HPS are street only as well...... Hope this info helps you

Great combination for your year Viper and use.

I have EBC yellow on my rears. Don't track it anymore and was a bit concerned when I put them in but I don't have any problems on the street. I haven't done any scientific testing.

Hawk HPS pads. If Carbon Metallic made a street version, that would have been my first choice.

I've been running Hawk ceramics on mine for quite a while now and love them on the street. They did "fine" during a track weekend at Road Atlanta as well, but I don't have anything to compare them to. They are about halfway worn now and I have another Road Atlanta weekend coming up, so I ordered a full set (front and rear) of the EBC Yellows. I'll put them on before the next track weekend, so I should have good comparison this time.
I'll more than likely go back to the Hawks for street driving until they wear completely out.

 

[Voodoo Rob]

I have the Hawk street pads, no complaints and low dust

For some reason I always thought (correctly or incorrectly) that ceramic was less rotor-friendly; do you believe that based on your experience?
