Hawk hps brake pads for my '04 Z

Thanks for those of you who suggested the Hawk pads!

I get little to no brake dust, they stop noticeably better than OE, and they're affordable!

+1 on that, i've had them on now and the brake dust accumulation in 2 weeks is what used to be with the oem pads in 2 days... just got the rear pads for when they go

HPS's improved brake dust greatly on mine as well...but for better stopping power/feel, put some braided lines on their with some nice fluid, you won't be sorry

Good suggestion! I've heard of people getting stainless steel brake lines for stiffer braking too.

I love 'em Hawks. Got mine from Pep Boys with life time warranty. So I won't have to buy it again the next time around. Also the rear brake pads doesn't wear off as fast as front so it's not necessary to replace them till 30k miles or so.
