The OP said he wanted an high coefficient pad so the saying napa, duralast, Wagner etc are talking stock style pad. I asked a tech at summit racing last week which he preferred and he recommend the EBC's green over the hawk lts. So I bought them and they are an improvement over the ceramics I had. The TJ crowd loves EBC yellows, they are even more aggressive then the greens and lts. But they do cost more and I would be leery of installing a very aggressive rear pad without some upgraded fronts to even it out. Any midcorner braking with too much rear braking can cause a spinout. I don't think that would be a problem with the greens or lts though. Enjoy.

I've had the Hawk's and the EBC Green's. I liked the EBC's better. They produced less dust and they come with a break-in compound on them. Will be getting the Green's or Yellow's when I do my brakes.

In between the EBC Greenstuff 6000 series pads, or the Hawk Performance LTS pads.

Also need rotors...Anyone have any advice there?
