Thanks I`ll start looking around

 

JRP sells thes now. I was going to get a set but they didnt have stock, then I went in a week later and they had stock.

 

i recently bought the hawk hps... they squeal for some reason... on those hot days when its like 40 degrees outside frank at speedstar got them for me when i couldnt find them anywhere else

 

Hey Guys.. update ,Decided on hawks ceramics for brembos did the change myself sunday morning 2.5hrs really easy. No need to remove Calipers but once installed, follow stoptech`s bed in procedure to the letter. make`s life easier trust me . no squeals,no chatter true straight line stops. Got mine from Just Brakes on Finch ave w good prices and they know wuz up . Thanks to all

 

anyone know how aggressive the hawk ceramics are compared to the hawk hps's? i would assume it's more, but not as bad as the hps plus's.

 

^Ceramics are still not good enough for track. Which equals fail! HP+ FTMFW

 

i was thinking about upgrading my current hps to the hp+, but since i'm putting on the volks soon, the brake dust on the hp+ is gonna be a bi*tch

 

^^ your hawk hps don't squeall at all? mine does on those warmer days, it really gets annoying. I got them hoping they would be quiet...

 

no squeal at all in both cold and hot days. the only problem i find is the stopping power. the hps pads stink compared to the oem brembo's (obviously because these are more for daily driving), but were USELESS on the track). at least the oem brembo pads were good for daily and track (but they brake dusted like crazy ), so i'm trying to find a middle ground between track ready performance and low-brake dust.

 

I don't have a big brake kit, and my front pads are toast, what should I get?

I defiantly do not want any squealing, and would like minimal amount of break dust. On Gold rims, the break dust is killer

 

then there must be something wit mines, or could it be my slotted rotors? even today it was squealing... guess ill just kill these ones and hopefully can find a happy medium for low brake dust and good stopping power with minimal noise.

the hps does not have a lot of brake dust and half decent for daily driving. havent taken it to the track so i couldnt judge on that.

 

Usually stopping power will sacrifice noise and brake dust. wait till you hear my Endless CCR on my S2000, almost kills my ear last time when i drove. Also depending on your driving behavior, I've seen some customers who got the same Endless pads and they don't squeal at all. Speaking of pads, the stock brembo pads do suck very much..lots of dust, lack of stopping power. I am waiting for the Endless forged BBK thats why I gotta live with my stock brembo pads..

 

I don`t track my car.so I was not looking for the most aggressive pad.I have since put on about 300km on the new pads and yes, there is a noticeable lack of initial bite but 120 to 0 does not increase the "pucker factor".Good trick to keep dust off your rims. wax them regularly . oh yeah ,the ceramics no dust so far

 

HPS pad material LITERALLY melted on my first track day within 2 laps.

 

only if i knew this before hand... i was looking around and trying to do some research for some decent pads with no noise, and i even got frank to go out of his way looking for them cuz no one had them in stock. ah well, live and learn.

 

once my pads wear out more, i'm thinking of switching to nismo pads, from teh reviews i've read here, they are relatively low dust when compared to stock.
