Question What material are the Hawk HPS Pads?

Are these ceramic, carbon-metallic, or organic? Thanks.

Default Ferro-Carbon

He is correct, though Hawk calls it Ferro-Carbon
If you need a set I stock them.



Thanks

Thanks guys, but for now, I am going to go ceramic because that's wahat the stock ones were and I want it to be as quiet as possible.

Default Why Hawk are better

Here's the description from Hawk on the HPS Pads.........HPS - High Performance Street

Hawk Performance HPS compound provides advanced braking characteristics to enhance your driving experience. This unique compound combines the safety and quality of Aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motor sports.


Features

Extremely low dust

High friction/torque hot or cold

Gentle on rotors

Virtually noise-free

Much improved over OE

Long extended pad life

Sounds better than OEM to me!
