I know the Hawk HPS have less brake dust than the brembos and a lot of people would prefer them over the brembos, price also is cheaper. Just wanna see what people are using on their cars. BTW i have an 03 w/ brembos. Also thinkin about the Hawk Performance Ceramic.

i have axxis ultimates ceramic pads...i got them in a package with stoptech ss lines and motul fluid...the ultimates have more bite than the brembos, but they dust just the

same...also they make noise if you don't wash out the brake dust...if you wash your car often this shouldn't be a problem...and don't forget to keep your OEM

shims...

do you break hard a lot?

cuz if you're really lazy, lots of people have been using the Hawk HPS pads cuz they barely dust

but other than the fact that they don't emit much dust, they're super crappy pads for performance (jmho, so dont start trying to flame me! you can post your opinion as i posted mine though )

i say this b/c (imo) they dont like to stop the car initial bite is the pits

then again many many people have hawk pads and are very very happy with them. in the end, its all up to you

I forgot to mention i dont track or street race my car at all, just normal driving, I just checked out the Endless brand and I like them but for how I drive they're a bit pricey.

I have HPS pads on my BBK. They are OK. Very little dust but performance could be better. I am going to try something else next time. I wash my car every week so I can live with some dust.


Has anyone had HPS and Endless pads? I would like some options for next time. What about EBC Greens?

I have the HPS Pads on my 03 with Brembos. Other than a little squeaking every now and then I love them. And the best part no dust.

HPS is a decent pad used them a few times tracking till I got good and then just kept melting them. Still use them on the street just due to the low dust factor.

If I can have Carbotech make some streetable pads I would only use those. I use Carbotech now for tracking only its got enough bite to sprin the beeds on street tires let alone snap you neck if youre not paying attention.

The axis Ulti are good pads as well tried those a few times on the track.
