Hawk HPS rear pads with stock rotors

Posted on 11/03/2006 by Steven M. - 2003 Ford Cobra (Pensacola,FL)

"Pads outperform stock pads hands down. Consistent stopping with light pedal pressure; heavy pressure yields a very noticable improvement."

Hawk HPS Fronts, review

Posted on 10/18/2006 by Alex P. (Minneapolis,MN)

"Put these pads on at the track as a substitute for stock on my 2000 BMW M5. They provided a marginal improvement, less brake fade and crisper initial braking. They are a bit noisier than stock, but haven't driven them long enough on the street yet for a full review. --Alex"

"These pads are great, and live up to every expectation that I had of them. They are low dust, very quiet, and you can feel the difference in pedal pressure and stopping distance. Highly recommended!"

Hawk LTS brake pads

Posted on 10/07/2006 by Joseph M J. (Fargo,ND)

"I just installed the Hawk LTS rear brake pads on my '01 Toyota Sequoia and they haven't made a sound and provide maximum stopping power in my opinion. I have the Hawk super duty brake pads up front and they have approximately 60% life left after 80K miles. There are a lot of highway miles included in those 80K miles but I was still surprised to find the super duties holding up that well. From my experience with the super duty pads I expect the LTS model pads to give me great service life and provide maximum stopping power. The reason I didn’t go super duty for the rear brakes was because I was advised that the super duty series sometimes are noisy (something I was not aware of) while the LTS series are never noisy. My front super duties produce no noise what so ever but I decided not to press my luck and went with the LTS series."

Really good!

Posted on 09/25/2006 by Peter H. - 2003 Honda Civic (Plainfield,IL)

"Just got these for my Civic with a pair of powerslot rotors and i have to say they work great, no brake fad at all. the only thing is that there is alot of brake dust build up, maybe because they're new. but other than that, Works great! better than OEM."

Great pads, but low dust?

Posted on 09/20/2006 by John P. - 2004 Acura RSX (Carmichael,CA)

"These are very predictable low fade pads. I have them on a Dodge Durango, Mazda 626 (V6) and now my RSX Type S. They don’t seem to wear the rotors too badly considering the grip they are capable of. The HPS is advertised as low dusting. This is not so. I don’t believe that any performance brake pad is low dust. So, when replacing the brake pads thoroughly clean the wheels and apply generous amounts of wax or wheel dust repellant. If you do this, the dust will clean with any car wash. Also, it is very important to follow the Hawk break-in procedure to obtain the maximum performance."

"Installed fronts and rears 2 weeks ago on our 1998 Pontiac GTP on top of original rotors which are still in great shape. Quick and easy install. Braking better than OEM especially when wet. Dusting is light to moderate."

Hawk HPS on a 2004 Maxima

Posted on 09/14/2006 by Constance D. - 2004 Nissan Maxima (San Antonio,TX)

"This was my second set of HPS pads. The first was on a '03 Dodge Ram. Both sets performed fantastic. Improved stopping and no pad smears on the rotors causing brake shuddering. I highly recommend Hawk HPS pads. Have your rotors turned or replace them when installing new pads to ensure optimum performance."

Top Grade

Posted on 08/05/2006 by Alexander S. - 2003 Ford Mustang (Leesburg,VA)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"The characteristics that are shown and claims that Hawk make about these pads prove themselves after a few miles of driving. I have never used pads that provide such consistency in every application of the pedal. The only down side--may not be the "biggest bang for the buck." If you want absolute top grade though regardless of the price, these pads will meet your expectations."

Good pads, but still dusty

Posted on 07/03/2006 by Brent Y. - 2001 Infiniti G20 (Santa Ana,CA)

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

"OEM pads were still working ok, but I got tired of all the dust. Hawk advertises themselves as premium pads w/o dust. So I paid a little more to get them vs cheaper easier-to-find ones, primarily so my wheels wouldn't need cleaning as often. Installed Brembo slotted and drilled rotors at the same time. Combo works well together, stops fine, no squeal or noise, but still dust up the wheels. Maybe not quite as bad as OEM pads, but still pretty dusty. I am a reasonably conservative driver (gentle starts and stops) and use my P11 G20 fairly easily as a commuter car."
