One of these days I'll need to replace mine also...so I'm looking now but don't have a clue what to get. My son put ceramic pads on his Miata and seems to like them...of course he upgraded the size of the rotors first with ones from a later model. So...what about the Hawks...what makes them so special?

I checked Hawk out...but they don't list pads for Solara's....only Camry's. They should be the same...but they also didn't show pads for the rear...front only.

The last time I changed pads, I put on Raybestas STS (street technology series) ceramic pads. Really good stopping power, no noise, and my rims always look clean. Another good thing about Raybestas is that the layered compound in their shims eliminates vibration. I will use them from now on and I highly recommend them.
Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another very expensive flying club.
