Hawk HPS pads garbage
I've been driving my car with these pads (Hawk HPS all around) for a couple of months now and I'm not impressed.
The initial bite is sub par and the brake fade gets bad if you ride the brakes even a little when coming to a slowdown. I'm using Brembo blanks and Falken Azenis ST115 tires all around. I don't think they're the problem. The brake line was flushed and lines bleed.
The ceramic brakes I put on the family Altima does better than these pads, and they're just the Advance Auto generic brand. The Hawks are just "ok" pads. For the money I paid I was expecting much more.
I just wanted something more aggressive for the street (car is not tracked) and better than the last generic pads I had. This is my daily auto S14 with no ABS.
I'll be replacing these with something else as soon as I have the chance, any suggestions?
