Brake pads POWER STOP or Hawk Performance

POWER STOP Brake pads

I took it out on a twisty road for about 40 miles, and did some hard stops. Seems to have resolved the issue. I read somewhere that these brakes need time for bed settling. I will say, they do stop impressively well. The factory stuff was underwhelming.

Pros: stop impressively well
Cons: squealing, brake dust
Mileage: 40 km

I’m a big fan of how my brakes feel after upgrading to the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, Bosch solid rotors (drilled/slotted do more harm than good), and some Goodrich Stainless Braided Brake lines.

Pros: good brake feel

POWER STOP Brake pads

At 34k miles I have replaced my front brake pads with “Power Stop Z23-2275 Evolution Sport” and it is ten times better than the factory original brakes. If you own a Turbo engine, do yourself a good and replace front pads (at least) asap.

Pros: ten times better
Cons: factory brakes poor
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 34000 km
Part number: Z23-2275

Had one in 2012. A cba 2009. Blew transmission. Covered under warranty. They put in a DBA transmission and bellhousing. Had full bolt ons and the car was fun. Ran mid 10\u2019s at over 130 mph. Stock brakes sucked. I upgraded to J hook rotors and I think hawk pads.

Pros: fun, ran mid 10s
Cons: stock brakes sucked
Vehicle: Nissan

Has anyone else experienced crazy dust from their Hawk HP+ pads? These wheels were clean at the start of the day, and what you see above is after 6 47 second runs.Advertised as low dust, I find it hard to imagine this is what they mean by that. Under hard braking, you can literally taste the dust in your mouth, and the car had a thin film over it. I reached out to Hawk 9 days ago asking for some clarification but have been disappointed not to hear back from them at all. Not impressed with the customer service, nor with the brake pads. They bite great, but the amount of dust im getting is insane.

Pros: great bite
Cons: insane dust, poor customer service
