Hawk Performance Brake Pads from Tire Rack good? Did anyone had these set of brake pads installed on the sedan? Thanks.

 

I've got them on mine with the upgraded Stillen rotors. If you're looking for good performers, these are the ones. Keep in mind they are metallic though, so you will likely have some noise. Mine are a bit noisy, but I love'm anyway.

i have them as well. the dust was virtually eliminated. as far as feel, to me they feel about like the stock pads (that is certainly not a bad thing, if you have the brembos). i got them on ebay for 115, but i noticed that the seller has since raised the price to 150 (for all 4 corners). i would still do it, as it was an extremely painless transaction.

good luck!!

 

What part of the country are you in? If your in a cold climate, you may not be very happy with this type of pad, because they have almost no friction factor below 40 degrees F. Its no fun stepping on the brakes on a really cold morning and not having any brakes. These brakes are best to withstand high temperatures generated by constant braking; like on the track.

 

The entire Hawk line is pretty good. Some do take longer to warm up though. I had them on both TTRX7's and could never get them to fade, even on the track.

 

Are you guys talking about the Hawk HPS or the HP+?

 

Oh, the HPS Road/Sport.
