    Hawks brake pads suggestions.

    Thinking about switching I'm going to use OE Brembo rotors, do you guys think I should use Hawks Ceramics or Hawks HPS? Let me know your suggestions guys thanks!

    Personally i would get the cheapest blank rotors you can find ( they will work just as well as the Brembos) and then since you are upgrading to hawks i would go with the hps's.

    Hmm.. I have heard nothing but good about the Hawk HPS pads.. I have them on my car and have no problems with noise and the brake dust isn't that bad IMO.

    The HP+ are the ones I have read about to dust heavily and squeal because they pretty gnarly.. From what I read.

    I can vouch for this claim. I have the HPS' installed all around, and they hold up nicely for street use with the occasional autocross thrown in.
