Well, just finished my brakes earlier today and all I can say is WOW! Hawk pads are the greatest pads ever. They respond a lot better than I had expected them to and they weren't too much more than the OEM ones... sorta... :lol:

Sucky part is, someone worked on them before and lost the little 'M' spring and the rubber screw cap on one side of car. Oh well, still runs fine to me. Anyways, anyone who needs new pads now or in the near future, I would seriously recommend these pads.

=D>

Which Hawks were these? I know there are different compounds. The HPs can be had in the UK for a fairly good price, but I'm not sure how heavy these are on discs/rotos. Got Ultimates at the moment; heavy wearing on Mazda discs, but better on Brembos.

The Hi-Performance Street pads to be exact. Ideal for street and track usage apparently.

I've had them on my car for about a year, and they dust like no other pad I've ever had. Squeek a bit too. My miata is not a daily driver so it's not that big of a deal. Stops on a dime though.

Are you sure these are the same Hawks? I don't get any dust at all with them.

thats because you just put them on.

A few friends that run HP+ on their AX cars are going to switch to Carbotech... The HP+ dust too much for street and are too noisy.

No clue what I'm going to put on...

 

[SoCal_Brian]

Just get HPS, trust me.

HPS don't dust...HP+ dust awful....Trust me I have mesh wheels....$79 bucks w/rotors at planetmiata if I remember correctly,if they still have that goin' on....

 

[LagunaMiata]

How do the HPS compare with the HP+ for autocross use?

 

[superboosted]

HP+ is a VERY agressive pad..squeels,grinds,dusts,etc...I would guess it depends on your driving style.

I wanted Hawks, but I just ordered OE replacements. I couldn't wait. I also wanted Brembo rotors, but I need brakes now. Mine are almost worn to the vents, and AutoX is next week.

What other pads can you compare them to?
