Hawk Ceramic Pads

[skarab]

Well I am happy to report the ceramic Hawks are amazing! Definitely an improvement over stock pads. Definitely had my fingers crossed as this is my first time doing my own brakes ever. Pads are super quiet and no squeeking..... just bites! I definitely would recommend them...I will watch for amounts of dust reduction when I get my car and wheels washed.

my stockers are starting to squeek. time for an upgrade and you sir may have convinced me to try these also.

I am telling you....at least I think they are awesome pads.....and I spent only $160 on them for a total set. I didn't turn my rotors either....I will probably get new ones the next go around.

Just wondering... how many kms or mi did you guys get to before replacing them?

40k is when I did mine......I didn't have them checked, but I started to get some squeeking from the oem's and judging by the mileage...it was about time. Also I am happy to report VERY little dust from these pads. After a couple weeks the front wheels looked about like the REAR from the original pads. The dust was super easy to get off....most came off with little effort from a power washer.

Did you only replace the front brakes?

Did you get these (below) or the Hawk HPS Street pads?

I got the ones from your link. I have a pic I will post of my front wheel after about 5 weeks of driving around Chicago. So lots of stop and go traffic.
