These pads have very nice linear travel with a decent bite, 7/10? These seem to have almost NO brake dust as well as a slow wear characteristic. The one thing though is these pads are NOISY AS HELL, it gave a pretty good squeal for the first 500 miles then it reduced to a minor squeak around 15-30mph braking. It continues to be noisy 2500 miles later.This is paired with stoptech DBA-4000 rotors brand new cleaned properly and bled brakes, definitely confirmed squeal from pads. I would recommend these for autoX or sporting but I’ll never buy them for a commuter again.

...to complain about, and everything to love with these brake pads. I'm running these on the front (Brembo caliper) for street on my 2013 Roush RS3 Mustang, with 565hp. My rotors are R1 Concepts eLine drilled and slotted, and the combo is great for street performance. Those rotors are a bit of a budget pick, but so far they haven't let me down, even on the track. I do run Hawk track-only pads for that, though.Hawk always makes fantastic brake pads and these are no exception. After the bedding procedure there were a few miles of low speed breaking squeal, but since then, everything has been perfect.My only tiny nitpick is I wish Hawk would include maybe 25% more assembly grease in the box.

I have a 2017 Subaru STI and ran these for a while with stock rotors. They performed better than the stock pads but not a huge difference. Paired these with some upgraded slotted rotors and there is a huge difference in stopping distance now. When cold, there is a noticeable difference in performance compared to when they get warmed up; but if it doesnt take long for the pads to heat up and give you the braking power you crave. Im to the point my brake/rotor setup out performs what my current tires can handle. As for noise from the pads, anyone complaining about it either isnt using the supplied grease or is not thoroughly cleaning the calipers when they change out the pads each time. Only noise i get is during intial bedding process.

Easy to install on my 2019 Honda Accord using Hyundai Genesis Brembo brakes. It came with grease as well. Just make sure you clean everything before applying the grease to applicable parts. I broke the pads in using their instructions and now they stop on a dime. No weird noises and much less brake dust.

I was unhappy with the stock front pads because they squeaked constantly when coming to a slow stop. Instead of enjoying my otherwise awesome Civic Type-R, I found myself feeling irritated as I drove around town. Perhaps the squeaky track pads don't bother some people, but I was not able to accept it.The good news? I had these pads (Hawk HB453B.585) installed and all the noise is gone! Additionally, there seems to be less initial dust than the stock pads had and I haven't been able to discern any downgrade in braking ability.Note: Amazon claims these pads don't fit a 2018 Civic Type-R but that is incorrect. They fit fine for the front brakes and are a great alternative to the stock pads.

These Hawk pads replaced a set of EBC Red stuff and they outperform the EBC pads by a mile! Specially, when you are talking about hard braking from 80+ mph.Pads were installed on a 2002 Audi A6 daily driver. The car has an upgraded Brembo front caliper setup (larger 4 piston) and 330mm rotors, with stainless lines.The low speed (in town) bite is pretty strong (could be on the harsh side until you get used to them) and this is where a lot of people will probably not like them for daily driving (which I guess they are not intended for in the first place). They definitely took some getting used to ;-)BUT...When you are on the freeway and you need to stop, these pads will blow your socks off. The only thing you have to be careful of, is the clown behind you that does not have the same ability to stop..... My mechanic made fun of the "racecar bite" after he drove it and all I could say is... I love it! lolAnother note.... they are NOISY, and again.... they are not intended for daily driving, so that is to be expected. I do not mind the occasional squeal so it really does not bother me.I read a review (on here) where someone stated these are overkill for daily driving, which is probably true, but... in my opinion, that greatly depends on what a driver considers to be “spirited / aggressive driving" and what they consider to be "high speed braking".. If you rarely exceed freeway speed limits or never go over 80 mph, you will not need these pads.If you do some “occasional” high speed “travel”, these will make you a safer speeder… ;-)
