I have Hawk HPS pads with OEM rotors and they seem to be ok. Stopping power is about as good as OEM with significantly less dust.

I'm in need of new brakes and rotors as well. But I've heard there is a big difference in stopping power compared to OEM. Especially/mainly when "cold".? Can you shed light on the comparison Micheal from Acute?
