Just switched from Stoptech street pads + stoptech drilled and slotted rotors to zimmerman cross drilled rotors with hawk hps5.0 pads. Must say I like my Zimmerman + Hawk setup a lot.

Rating 4.5

I have been running Hawk HPS 5.0 front and back since my 2019 Stinger GT. Put them on my G70 within the first 500 miles to save the rotors. They do squeak a bit, but they stop without fail and after 35k on my Stinger, never once did I get any vibration on braking.

Pros: reliable stopping, no vibration
Cons: squeaking noise
Mileage: 35000 km

the concept shown at SEMA receives several modifications such as a Garrett G25 660 turbine with Manley pistons and Eagle whiskers. As if it were not enough this Sentra model would be equipped with Akebono brakes from Nissan Z.

Pros: improved braking, modified engine
Vehicle: Nissan Sentra

Akebono Brake pads

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.

Pros: less squeaking after 1000 miles
Cons: loud squeaking initially
Mileage: 1000 km

Hawk Performance Brake pads

Complete ripoff. Subaru tried that years ago on my STI, I bought Hawk track pads and did it myself (as I would have done anyway). The dealer tried the ol' "These are high end calipers and the pads are much more difficult to change". I just said "Please stop lying to me, you're eroding trust between us" and left. Easiest brakes ever.

Pros: easy installation, cost savings
Cons: dealer dishonesty, high price
Vehicle: Subaru
