Used ceramic AC Delco pads in the past and found them to be noisy (lightweight grinding noise) when applying the brakes. They lasted 1-1/2 years. That does not seem to be long enough. I just switched to the Hawk pads and guess what - no more grinding noise. Do not think I installed the previous AC Delco's incorrectly. It's hard to foul up pad installation. Would recommend Hawk. Car stops well. Only disadvantage to the Hawk is no wear gauge feelers. The AC Delco feelers saved my rotors.

The Hawk HPS pads are a great buy. I've only got a couple hundred miles on them so far but they work great with my new DRT D&S rotors, much better braking power than before with OEM quality brakes.

I have used the HPS pads for about two years of performance driving on my 2006 Charger R/T. They are the best I have found so far but wish a track only option was available for my fitment.

I have used Hawk pads previously and I am sold on the brand. The pads were a tremendous improvement over stock and my braking force improved dramatically. If better pads exist I would like to see them.

My Audi a4 avant has brake wear sensors. If I replace the pads with Hawk Ceramic, will my sensors still function?
Answered by Nathan S. — Feb 18, 2013 10:10 AM
Hi, Your brake sensors will either be retained (clip on) or will be included with the pads (embedded in the friction material) and will work fine.

This breaks seem to go out quiet fast - from 15k to 24k depending on use. What replacement pads (or rotors) would you recommend to extend the life and improve performance of my brakes?

I am shopping around for heavy duty brake pads for a 2008 EX Honda Pilot. Need to do some towing to the max limit of 4,500lbs. So being able to stop is a good thing.

Hello. The Hawk HPS pads are high performance street pads. These are designed for maximum stopping force. These pads are also excellent in dealing with high temperature brake fade. They remain very effective at high brake temperatures when many types of pads lose their strength. This extra stopping power can reduce stopping distances of the vehicle with or without a load and will have the most significant effect on the stopping power.

Are the Hawk HPS Brake Pads a good fit for the EBC Ultimax Slotted Rotors (2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT)? Or do you have a better option; I am basically tired of replacing warped rotors. Plus I just want to make sure I’m combining compatible brakes and rotors. Thanks.
Answered by Elizabeth C. — Jun 22, 2012 2:49 PM
Thank you very much for contacting AutoAnything. The Hawk/Ebc set up would work, but I suggest using the Ultimax Brake Pads with the Ultimax Rotors. Below is a direct link for your information.

I regularly tow a 3000# camper with my 2010 4Runner and am looking to replace the pads before we make a trip through the Rockies with the trailer behind us. I have had these pads on a previous vehicle (Subaru WRX/STi) with hard street/track use they held up well, so they were first to come to mind when it comes to brake pads for me. Would these stand up to towing use like they did in the previous application, or is there another pad I should consider?
Answered by Ryan K. — Jun 26, 2012 9:51 AM
The Hawk HPS pads would be ok for towing, but I would recommend going with the Hawks HP Superduty brake pads. They are specially formulated for towing, so they'd do a better job dealing with the steep grades you're traveling on.

I have 95 m3 that i started taking to track, will these Hawk HPS be good?
Answered by Anonymous — Mar 04, 2012 7:10 PM 2010 Toyota 4Runner
I had these on a 2005 WRX/STi that was driven extremely hard and they held up great. For dedicated track duty the HP+ pads are better, but they are dusty and loud. These pads will give you plenty of bite for the track, but stay civilized on the street. Of course, YMMV, this was just my experience with them.

Is there a difference between the front brake pads of a car with all wheel drive or regular rear wheel drive cars.
Answered by Tom F — Feb 27, 2012 7:11 PM 2007 Ford F-150
In general, Yes. The front brake system is entirely different in almost every aspect to the rear brake system. The front brakes do about 80% of all you stopping. For this reason, the front rotors are usually much larger than the rear rotors. And for that reason, brake pads that are designed for the front, will not fit the rear. And as for AWD vs. RWD vehicle on the front brakes, It would be specific to the manufacture, model and year of the vehicle.
