Instructions should be on the box your pads came in, but if you don't have them then-

look here: http://www.hawkperformance.com/performance/hps.php#

or here: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech/....jsp?techid=85

for Hawk's recommended bed-in procedures.

My HAWKS dust BAD, but then my old stockers did also (non metallic). Besides that I love them.

I have the HP Street pads and they do fine. I broke them in like the box said to and they do fine. They don't dust hardly any, front or rear. The rears dusted pretty severely when I went to Road Atlanta, but not during DD. And by the way, car has incrdedible stopping power. When I am taking someone for a ride for the first time, not only do I show the power and handling, but I also show them the stopping power. It is fun.
