Hawk hps pads correct pad for 2013 pp

On the EBC website they list 2 types of "regular slotted" rotors, under the USR button.  They say USR is their newer, silent slotted rotor, and the GD rotors are ones with straight slots that are wider "for better cooling."  The BSD rotors have that "blade shaped" slot that they say wipes away gasses more efficiently and provides some wind noise reduction.  So it looks like the new USR rotors are supposed to be their quietest.  Though they call them USR ultimax, and do not carry anything called just USR without the ultimax name...  Just to make 100% certain to frustrate their customers, lol    https://ebcbrakes.com/product/usr-slotted-rotors/

I would skip right over the Redstuff ...

What makes you say that?  I was reading a bunch and currently Red Stuff is a ceramic pad, while is used to be a different material that was not ceramic.
 
Simply that Redstuff will disintegrate under heavy duty use, Yellowstuff is really what is suitable for these cars.
 
I got 12,000 miles out of redstuff on my heavy G8 gt. The stock PP pad is roughly equal to the Redstuff in performance. I got 25,000 out of the stock PP front pads. I am using the yellowstuff and am REALLY impressed with them, no negatives at all and after full break in I'd say 40% stickier then the stock PP pads, which were sufficient for my needs anyway. So far yellowstuff- no squeaks, squeals or noise at all, equally as dusty as the stock PP pads, work significantly better when wet and no change with cold weather. Do yourself a favor skip the redstuff....
