Reviews of Hawk Performance brake pads

Ecs tuning 2piece rotors and hawk hp plus pads. Minimal dust, great stopping, and no rust.

Porsche Cayenne (18Z) calipers in front w/ ML55 345mm rotors & Hawk HPS pads 034 Motorsport 300mm rotor conversion in rear w/ new calipers & Hawk HPS pads Braided stainless brake lines all around Brake fluid flushed and replaced with Motul RBF 600 ST coilovers (KW's entry-level brand)

From my personal experience with the hawk hps pads, stay away from them. Absolutely garbage past normal operating temperatures. They were however quiet and low dust.

I do really like the Hawk HPS pads. They cost a little more, but I think they are worth it.

I had the stoptech then switched over to Hawk HP Plus - best decision I've made. They're not exactly quiet but tolerable (in my opinion) - they bite awesomely though.

I would recommend Hawk HPS pads. They bite instantly, so they could be a little noisy if you don't grease the backs. They aren't great on dust, but you will always have a lot of brake dust due to the size of the brakes. The performance is probably the best available for non race applications. I have never experienced brake fade, but I do have a heavily modified brake system.

i decide to swap for BBK Discs front mercedes GL 350mm drilled Textar's i pads Hawk Performance 5.0 rear discs 310mm drilled Textar i pads Hawk performance 5.0

I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.

Hawk HPS are outstanding, good bite with very linear feel and low dust
