I just installed my hawk HPS tonight. I drove around to set the pads and so far so good. Michael was easy to deal with and answered all my questions.

You're welcome. Remember to read the directions on the box on how to bed the brakes.

Just in case people want to hear from someone who's had them for almost a year, here are a couple of words on my experience.

1. Dust - WHAT DUST?! Gone. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Null. Absolutely don't have any dust anymore.

2. Performance actually gets significantly better after the pads are broken in and bedded in. But the initial lazy bite I was having was mostly due to the fact that I have drilled/slotted rotors, which needed to be bedded in properly to start operating at their best during regular driving.

3. If I may just be so bold as to say this again (and again!) - the HPS pads are absolutely great and I'd totally buy again. Way better than stock - UNQUESTIONABLY!


GL everybody!
