My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi Grey/Grey Budapest 18" Lost to HPFP issues: 08 535i sport pkg Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks: 07 E61 530Xi

I have yet to change my pads and disks on the BMW, but from the Scubie , 2x R32's,3 A4 ( 2 wagons &1 sedan) the Hawks were my favs and my dad's and brothers too.
The Performance Frictions and OEMs were the least, and the Axis and EBC's were in the middle.

Yes, I do remember that. John really likes them. I'm coming out to LA from May 2-6 so I am sure that I will be seeing those pads in action when I meet up with the LA crew.
