Ok Im about to get some pads to replace the OEM

im looking to get the Hawk HPS pads( i belive they're not ceramic)
but i have a few questions, i did a search and found that some of the Hawk pads make noise, i wanted to find out if the Noise is from the ceramic pads or the HPS ones??? and how everyones experience is with these pads

and what other choices do i have in pads, some that are long lasting, minimal brake dust and squeek free.

 

and also where can i buy some online for a good price??
on tire rack they're 65 and plus shipping
and at pepboys they're the same price

 

I put the Stillen 'Metal Matrix' pads on, front and rear, before the OEM pads had a 100 miles on 'em. Luv 'em.....Stop well with both OEM and aftermarket rotors.....and NO dust. About $100 +/- for the set and cake to install. ...................................04' G35X, Brilliant Silver,"Padded" (Metal Matrix) by Stillen" "Full 'X' Cat-Back" by Stillen, "Aloomie Pedals" by Inf., "Popped" by Wolf, "Pullied" by UR,"Tubed" by Z,"D-Badged" by me, "Clear Cornered" by JDM, 05' "Tails" by Inf., "Tall Boy Plenum" by APS, well "Grounded" by Gordgee., 35% Silver Reflective tint.

 

whats the website so i can check it out??

 

I have the Hawk HPS. Great pads so far, no dust, and no noise. You can get the Hawks or the Stillens at Stillen's Site

 

Both good........both at Stillen...............................04' G35X, Brilliant Silver,"Padded" (Metal Matrix) by Stillen" "Full 'X' Cat-Back" by Stillen, "Aloomie Pedals" by Inf., "Popped" by Wolf, "Pullied" by UR,"Tubed" by Z,"D-Badged" by me, "Clear Cornered" by JDM, 05' "Tails" by Inf., "Tall Boy Plenum" by APS, well "Grounded" by Gordgee., 35% Silver Reflective tint.

 

i went to pep boys yesterday and they have hawk pads
and they're 65 bucks for the fronts they should be the same thing as on the websites right?
or is there some kind of difference

 

I just had the Hawk HPS pads installed on the front on Tuesday and they good but really need time to bed properly. We have had rain since late monday so I acn't really do the beding properly. They make almost no noise slight grinding but with the radio on you never heard it and it is only avdible kust before a complete stop. I would buy them again and will for the rears.

 

p.s. Argh, wrong thread. Meant to post in thread by sheltonh... Two brake threads within minutes of each other!

 

Is that Argh like a pirate? Hard to tell in print.
