yep. Hawk pads (ceramic coated) pads are the best i have found. I put brand new slotted rotors and a pair of hawk pads cramic coated on back in august of 05 and run 33s everyday around town driving and am just now coming time to needing new pads.

I have OEM pads. They never make noise. I had some aftermarket pads on from PO, that seemed to ear unevenly.
