How do they compare performance wise to the HPS? I'm going to need new brakes soon, and have been overall satisfied with HPS, but wouldn't mind something with a little more bite.

I havnt tried the hps pads but im happy with the ceramics I get no noise and havnt noticed any dust yet in the short time they been on. If I was going to be doing autox I would want the hps or even the hp's. For the street the ceramics seem fine I havnt got to really put them on too hard yet tho.

I have been running the hawk ceramics for about 20k miles and they are very low dust and they seem to bite very well. I have never had the HPS pads but these do a good job locking up the 285's I have. Also I have autocrossed them and been to the strip about a dozen times and they have never faded on me. They are at about 50-60% left.

I have them on all 4 corners. They were silent the first year and now they're making some noise. I think maybe I need to do a hard stop from a 100 to let my slotted rotors clean them off a bit. lol

You won't be disappointed with Hawks one bit, they're great!
