"This car is known to be very hard on rear pads and rotors, so I have high expectations in this area. I did not have to replace my rotors at this time, and I only replaced the rears as the fronts were still good. I only have a few hundred miles on them thus far so I can't comment on long term wear however, they are not noisy and do not seem to dust excessively and the stopping power is at least as good as OEM pads. I am pleased with these pads and would definitely purchase Hawk Pads again when I need pads once again for this car or for another of my automobiles."

"These pads are definitely better than the stock pads I had on there. Unfortunately I am still getting some squeeking and the pads can, at times, be too rough. For example, I will be easing to a stop and then suddenly the truck will jolt to a stop. If I had to do it over again I might consider the TRD pads over these...but overall I am much happier with these than I am the stock pads that were on my Tacoma."

"G35 coupes devour OEM pads & rotors and dusting is horrible. Installed Hawk Performance Ceramic Pad, DBA 4000 slotted rotors, Russell Steel Brake lines and Motul 600 Dot4 Fluid. I could not be more pleased with the results. Almost no brake dust, smooth initial bite, no noise - really helps in stop & go traffic. Tremendous stopping power! Install was relatively easy – even though I had no prior experience. I would definitely recommend this setup. I actually paid less money for all these performance parts than the amount the dealership wanted to charge for OEM parts and labor."

"We have a cabin in the mountains to the east of Reno, NV. The road to the house is Giger Grade Route 341, that climes 4,000 feet in less than 8 miles up the mountain side. This is a calenge to any driver with a high preformance car. The Hawk pads have given me the added measure that only larger sized after market brakes could have made. I will be adding Hawk pads to all my vehicles in the future."

"The pads are great, I actually placed them on my front wheels and left the Axiss Ultimates on my rears just to see which one had lower dust. No comparison, the Axiss as great as they are are terrible with brake dust. I would drive for 15 minutes and my rims would be covered. I can go well over a week with the Hawk pads and my wheels stay clean. Stopping power is great as well, I will be replacing my rear ones shortly."

"I utilized the Hawk pads and PowerSlot rotors as OEM replacements for my TSX. The front factory rotors had developed a warp and I had a shimmy on braking. The new pads and rotors corrected that problem and more. Braking feel is great, harder-shorter stops with less pressure, no brake fade. I couldn't be happier."

"These pads look and perform great, however the specific pads for my Dodge Dakota were too big and caused the pads to rub on the rotors continuously even when I wasn't applying the brakes. The problem has since gone away after 100 miles, the pads have worn down some as they became seated in with the rotors."

"I am a car enthusiast. I don't like to pay for things that I can do myself like replacing brake pads. Sure, for the price of the Hawk ceramics, you can get a cheap brake job done by your local mechanic including labor and the pads. But don’t be fooled, they use cheap pads. I rather put all my money in quality parts such as these Hawk ceramic pads. Unfortunately, they only make these for my front brakes. I did put the Hawk HPS on my rear brakes. Overall, they provide a much better grip than my OEM pads. You can definitely feel the car stopping faster. On my OEM pads, especially going down hill, it feels like the car will never stop. But now when I hit the brakes, I am confident that I will stop. That’s a great feeling for under $100. These seem to come with metal shims already attached to the pads. So I was confused whether to keep using the OEM shims. A short search on the internet did not provide a decisive answer. So just to be cautious, I kept using the OEM shims anyways. They appear to be working fine. No noise. Great stopping power. Buy a pair for yourself. You will be glad that you did."
