"I have read about the hawk pads in car magazines, so I wanted to try them since the stock pads are noisy and generate lots of brake dust. I had the dealer install them for me about 2 weeks ago, in the front only. I like their stopping power and the less dust they produce. the pads were a little noisy in the beginning but now it seems the noise level is decreasing. I'm considering installing Hawk pads in the rear too."

"This car has inadequate brakes front and rear, but what do you expect for a econo car. Front rotors would warp so I replaced with Brembo rotors and Hawk pads. This stopped the hideous squeal from the front brakes and provides good braking performance. So far no rotor warp but I really haven't heated them up bad either. Overall, this combo seems better that OEM."

"These pads went on a Infinity FX35 and for those who have driven the later models Nissans and Infinity know that they have a very aggressive initial bite stock. After changing the the Hawk HPS, it did seem to have a slightly softer initial bite compared to the stock pads, but the stock pads did fade fairly quick with a few hard stops. These pads are more fade resistant and seem to hold up well. These pads are pretty good, but a little expensive and will probably buy them again."

"I was quoted $195 for a factory issue pair of front pads fro my 2007 Acura TL Type S. Started looking around for other reputable brands and someone recommended HAWK. My mechanic installed them in 40 minutes and immediately I noticed a difference. Good initial bite, minimal fading, low brake dust. Only thing I could complain about was a little bit of noise the first couple of hundred miles(goes away eventually). Best part is, I saved $100 and still got great pads."

"Just upgraded my 2002 Acura MDX to Hawk HPS pads. Installation was straight-forward, and took about 2 hrs for all 4 wheels. After bedding the pads I'd say there was a noticeable difference in the car's braking. In particular, the Hawk pads have much better initial bite and continue to grip progressively with pedal input. They convey a real increase in confidence in the braking of this 4300lb vehicle. Recommended."

"I bought some Hawk HPS brake pads for my car even though my cars oem brake pads were still good because i needed the extra stopping power. After some modifications my car needed faster braking. Of course the noise is so much less if any at all sometimes, and you dont have to wait for them to get warm. These brake pads are far some of the best pads i have ever used on a car."

"I had these pads in for about two weeks and did not notice any difference from the stock pads. After one night of hard braking the pads squealed and screeched and braking dimished slightly. The installation was tough because there was a bump on one of the pads that had to be ground down so the pad could fit. Going to try EBC pads next."

"The brakes were noisy after driving on them for about 20 miles each day. However, It seems the noise does not occur anymore after driving on these brakes for about 2 months now. The dust has been reduced compared to the stock pads and the braking is probably about the same as the stock brembo pads. Overall, I would buy them again but I would also consider greenstuff if they are available."

"I think I had high expectations and was prepared for a greater improvement from the OEM pads that were replace, but the new pads still work well. There must be other issues with the trucks braking system that keep it from being as good as new. The pads are easy to install since the "shims" and such are attached to the pads."
