Thumbs up Hawk HPS

A couple of months ago I replaced my front brakes with Brembo blanks/HPS pads and it made a world of difference. I finally got around to doing the rears, but went with replacement rotors from a local retailer (got a 25% discount) and HPS pads and holy crap she stops better than new! I was going to do the Brembo rears but figured I'd save a few bucks and I am more than happy with how they are performing so far.

Have run nothing but Hawk HPS since my first LS1. They stop like a **** and do not even bat an eye at high speed stops.

Next step for me is a set of stainless lines.

The fronts do dust a bit more than stock but its not bad, I'll have to wait and see how the rears are. Well worth the extra dust for the stopping power though!
