Brake pads Bendix or Hawk Performance

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.

Pros: reduced brake dust, good initial bite, good modulation
Cons: potential weaker bite in cold
Vehicle: Honda Civic
