Default HAWK HPS Vs. Ceramic
What pads do you recommend based on experience? I'm probably going to just turn the stock rotors right now since there is only 23,000mi on them and are in decent shape. Is ceramic that big of a difference? Thanks

I have never ran the ceramics, but i do run the hps. They are awesome compared to stock. I think im upgrading to hps+ soon.

Im runnin HPS pads currently and i love them. I wont ever go back to a stockish pad again. I have had them on my car for 25000+ miles with slotted and drilled rotors and they still have alot of meat left on them.

I'm glad to hear the good reviews on the HPS pads. I'm ordering some very soon with some brembo rotors

HPS are great for the street, a little bit more dust but more stopping power etc.

i have been running the ceramics for awhile now and they work great...


as for the difference between the two, i believe the ceramics dont create as much dust, but someone correct me if i'm wrong
