Does anyone have any experiance with Hawk pads and their slotted rotors?

their pads are ok, but dust a bit too much for my pretty rims go with the raybestos ceramic quiet-stops from autozone - $69.99.

as far as the rotors - no idea

I like my Hawk pads. They dusted a bit for the first couple hundered miles, but after that, they are nice and clean. Huge improvment over stock as well.

I can't comment on their rotors. I like my Power Slots though.

I'm running the Hawk Hps pads and they are definately an improvement over stock. I dont think the dust is that bad at all.

another Rotor option worth exploring is "MUGGZI Performance" for Crossdrilled & Vented High performance Rotors.
Excellent prices.
their web site is www.muggziperformance.com
they also sell Hawk Brake Pads

Cross drilled rotors are truley dangerous unless the holes are molded into the rotor rather than just CNC'd. They will crack eventually if they are CNC'd.

I am running Hawk HPS pads and iRotors, and I can stop hard enough to make the seatbelts leave their signature on you for a while. Dusting is pretty bad, but managable, Im happy with em.

As DMNSPD said, non-molded cross drilled rotots (iRotors) allways have the chance of breakage. Its a style thing, if mine crack, Ill buy more.

Actually, the "cast in" holes crack too. The rotors seem unable to tell how they are made. That is another "urban legend".

Have fun!

I'm just going from experience. I had a friend who has some cross drilled cheapies on his Mustang. They flew apart on the highway. A peice even went up through his fender. I just don't see the point, besides looks, on a street driven car.

Hawk Pads and Power Slots got my vote too. They were a bit dusty for the first 200-350 miles though.

Which Hawk pads?

I ran Hawk blues and they were fantstic on the track. I learned the hard way to get all that pad dust off ASAP, though
