initial bite is crap.

for daily driving, fine. for spirited driving with hard braking, the pits.

Hawk pads dont fit properly (at least in the front). They have to be either pounded into the caliper, or trimmed on the sides to fit the width. Pain in the rass. Just go with the OEM.

I would recommend Axxis pads from importrp.com. The Ultimate are dusty so I went with the Deluxe Plus set up on all four corners for my Brembos. No loss in initial bite when cold, dust is almost non-existent, and stopping distance and bite feel better than the stock pads. On top of that, less than $100 for the entire site.

are you speaking from experience or just what you've read on the forums?
