after driving my z for about an year, the most frustrating thing on my car was the brake dust. so i searched for low dust pads and found some, hawk hps, satisfied pro ceramic etc.. i chose satisfied because it happened to be available at local kragens, and it was cheaper than Hawks.

and my god. it is night and day difference. i drove for a week, and front wheels are still clean. and no squeal at all.

i gotta say these brake pads are perfect for daily driving. it doesn't have the bite that stock pads have, but it provides very smooth braking.

i just swapped the front pads and used mobil1 brake grease. and some 50-5mph stops after the install.

best investment on the car so far. ($45 at kragens) i highly recommend them.

 

The Tire Rack also carries these pads. I will keep them in mind when I need to replace mine.

 

ya they were nice. for first 10k miles. then i found they ate my rotors =\ GL with them

 

I have had mine for nearly a month a love them.

I did the full 30mph-0mph Stop 15 Times and 50-0 stop 10 times with 30 seconds of cooling between each. After that they were golden.

 

i have hawks HPS on my 03 and i have to say in cold weather they dont grip well until you warm them up or when you just start driving.

The HPS pads are designed for more of autoX light track use.
