Default hawk HPS vs OEM

not looking to break the bank on brake pads. so... staying in the cheaper areas. I find the stock brakes to be just fine for my non brembo car... but I need new pads. so looking at performance nissan I can get the hawk HPS for 20$ more than the OEM.

worth it? better suggestion for <$125 all around?

Its 2nd pads I'm running and I love HPS. I don't track. for street use, I can't be more happier than HPS (price, performance, dust etc.)

i have all 4 used HPS pads will be on sale with about 2k miles.
I'm installing Brembo today. If you want, I can sell mine for 80+shipping.

I have 4 wheels rotora drilled/slotted rotors on sale too in case you're interested.

too poor for the rotors and Ill probably just go new cause I dont want to have to do another brake job any sooner than absolutely nescesarry but thanks for the offer and the input. good luck with your brembos; theyll look nice behind those rims.

I just switched to the hawks last week, its definately worth it over oem. Once they warm up they stop very well.

they don't have the initial bite of the oem pads, but they stop as well, and the brake dust is gone. nice pads.

These pads kick @ss, you have to bed them correctly if you want no or hardly any noise, plus a must if you reallywant them to have bite. If your brakes aren't biting like OEM, you need to bed them (no perverts not that kind of bed).
