hawk hps pads
you know i'm surprised too as i was told they will squeal, but have put over 300 miles on them on no squeal yet ...knock on wood.
I'm using the metal shims that came with the OEM pads and then a high temp brake lubricant on the back of the pad plate and the metal shims.

I bought some Titan Kai pads and returned them the next day. I heard they stop really well (with some noise) from several people, but they will eat your rotors up.
I've personally found the Ferodo DS2500 pads to be great. But you might want to step it up to some DS3000 for a track day. From now on Ferodo and only Ferodo pads on my car.

you know what i dont care what people say this is what i think about them i dont know for the people who have them and have no problem well i guess u dont brake tha same way i do because the pads where put in the right way everything was done by the book and they still suck im about to rip them off and pay $673 out the door for stock ones thats how bad theses suck.
hey any hawk people looking at this man better go back to the drawing board i dont see the 20-30% better stoping power then over stock. i guess u get what u pay for.
what this all comes down to people that street race or do track or auto crossing or just want to have fun on the street and want to see how your car does these pads are not for u.
thank u for reading i hope someone reads this before they make there next choice on upgradeing there pads

I don't even know what the **** you just said. I also can't even figure out what your problem with the pads is.
What I do know is that you should continue riding that short bus like you did before you dropped out of school.

have you bothered to bed the pads in? If your having issues I would do this before giving up on them. Check Stoptech's website for a how to, it should be in an article or tech section. I do this for all of my cars from our station wagon to anything I autox.
