I have the Hawk HP pads and they are "ok" but there are a few things I don't like about them.
- When driving in the rain or wet roads they respond slowly the first time the brakes are applied
- Their initial grab is not even close to what the stock pads were
- When installing I had file/sand down the top and bottom of the metal pad backing in order to get them to fit into the calipers
I do like that they create far less dust than the stock pads did and they are quiet.
Be certain to remove the shims from the back of the old pads when installing the new ones. This will keep the pads from squeaking.

Squealing is solved on the OEM Brembo pads (which have shims attached from the factory) with some additional anti-squeal lube, like 3M Brake lube/anti-sieze. I just replaced my Brembo pads with some more OEM's and they are quiet as a doormouse. I used plenty of 3M brake lube and it works great.
The stock pads are hard to beat for cold stopping power - the HPS are very weak in that department.

Hey guys.. I don't know 2 much about the brakes so I have a question.
If I would like to get these nismo project ns pads or similar like these from ebay:

can I install them on stock rotors/etc or do I need to replace rotors?
for brembo I need to replace rotors right?
Thanx
Mike
