I had the Hawks HPS installed by my roomie today. It's raining out there and the stopping power is already much better than stock, i can imagine how well they bite in the dry condition. I also put on the anti-sqeak thing from autozone as some board members suggested and i haven't heard any sqeaks yet. Great pad for a reasonable price

Just installed EBC green this week. I felt a difference in the pedal right away. So far no dust,no noise. The only downfall is that when you look at the calipers, you see lime green pads.

i have had the hawk hps pads for 21k miles, with zero squeak or brake dust. if you want to go out and spend twice as much for pads because they are made somewhere else, and the name sounds cool, then so be it. but the hawks are the clear winner, and the lowest priced...seems like a no-brainer to me.

My Brickyard 2003 Touring is at the dealer right now getting the Hawk Performance Ceramics installed on the front. I was running the Hawk HPS for 16K miles and for the first 10K they were pretty quite, but since then and growing worse over time the squeeling started when I braked. The no dust was great. Figured I'd try the Performance Ceramic to see how that does with dust and noise...the box says very very low occurance of both ;-) We shall see...
