Both are pretty similar in price, should I go with the Hawk HPS or the Baer Decela pads? My car is pretty much stock, with the exception of a few bolt ons. She's my daily driver, but every once and a while I like to get crazy :)

I'll be using them with slotted/dimpled rotors from rotorpros and stock calipers.

Look up performance frictions. The agency where I work uses them on all of the cruisers once the OEM stuff gets used up. I have had rotors red hot very often due to the nature of the work and the driving we do, you can see the glow through the rims. The brakes have never faded on me and have never warped, work better than OEM hands down. Our fleet manager has tried other brands and this is all they use now. On my MM too.

Hawk HPS have been working well using KVR cross drilled rotors.
