"A year" is not really helpful, I should have said about $11k miles.

 

so would we say that the hawk hps are better than our oem brembos? cause im looking into replacing my rotors as well with the brembo slotted.... heard the hps pads perform way better and make less noise than if used in conjunction with the stock rotors.

 

I don't think the rotors will make a huge difference on the street. In road racing they might. They also may eat your pads up a little bit faster. However on the street, a lot of the time when brakes make noise, it is not so much the type of pad compound and surface of the rotors, but rather vibration of the pads/shims in the calipers. Race brakes are usually going to be noisier in general, so I wouldn't expect going with a more aggressive setup to make it any quieter.
