"After waiting for four days for Auto Anything to approve a Paypal Payment. (Whats up with that?) The pads shipped and arrived the next day. Thats a full week waiting on jack stands. I got these because of problems with Quiet Stop plus ceramic pads, that build up gum on the rotors which wobble, overheat and crack. Now giving these Hawk ferro-carbon pads the test of time. So far I am impressed."

"2002 Toyota Tacoma 4DR V6 TRD Prerunner 80,000 miles. This brakes are much better than anything else I had before. Even better than when it was new. They are better than OEM or any aftermarket I had before. I installed this pads with Brembo Sport slotted rotors. My son says the truck now purs when it stops. The truck makes a little purring noise when stopping hard but it is more likely due to the slots on the rotors. I will definetely buy them again and recommend to anyone."

"Second set of these for my Infiniti G35. The OEM pads squealed and had tons of dust. Thest have no dust, seem to be gentle on rotors and last 2-3x as long as the OEM ones do. Expensive compared to OEM but well worth it in noise reduction, dust reduction and break distance improvement. You won't be disappointed for more aggressive cars like the G35."

"This is my second set of Hawk Pads. I work for a large Tier One full system brake supplier to the OEM companies. I have worked on many prototype vehicle tuning brake systems. For the money, and an off the shelf part, the Hawk brake pads are hard to beat. Better intitial bite and they stay solid throughout increase in input force. Much better feedback through the brake pedal. They only last about 80% as long as the OEM pads, but the increase in brake performance is worth it. They may squeak a little on the first couple of applications cold or wet. That is just part of having a high performance pad. Kind of like when your ABS system cycles when first starting to drive your car. Some people don't like the noise. I like to know they are working. Are they worth the price? They are to me."

HPS brakes for my BMW 330i

"The primary reason I purchased these were for the minimal brake dust it is said that they generate.They deliver on that aspect.But I never expected a drop off in braking performance. After installation,I followed the break-in procedure outlined on their package but when stopping I don't get the same initial bite as the OEMs.I hope it's a matter of furthur break-in.Either way,although surprised by their so-so performance,I would still recommend them,they still work."
