Hawks PC pads.

Don't plan on changing rotors yet.
Does anyone know what could cause the inside pad to wear more than the outside?

I'll take OEM sadly given the choices made by the responds on this thread. I hate the dusting just like everyone, but the initial bite of the OEM pads is very very attractive to me. I have tried the Hawk HPS on my dad's Honda Odyssey as well as my NSX. Nothing special. Initial Bite is noticably weaker in both cases. Stopping power is equal or better. The pad is more linear in terms of delivering brake power, but the feel just sucks. The Van went back to OEM, and my NSX went to project mu.
The BMW might react differently than the JDMs, but I am not counting on it. Go OEM or go with some higher performance series/brands.
The Hawk Performance Ceramic is not going to be as good in terms of stopping power and brake feel, yes it'll last longer and have less dust than the HPS, but that's about the only selling point. Costs a little bit more too. I didn't like the HPS, doubt I'll like the lesser performing Ceramics either. Get OEM and just wash your wheels lol.
I am replacing the ones on my e90 335i with Performance Friction PF08 soon. GL!
PS, you live in Vancouver and commute 88km daily? Wow.
