I'm past due for new pads and i figured i'd splurge and get some HAWK HPS pads, but from some of the reviews i've read they get pretty noise after a while. anyone have any experience with them? what other pads should i look for?

i dont do any autocrossing or anything, just some spirited driving :wink:

HP+s are noisy for sure, but the HPS's arent bad at all.

Bendix ceramic enhanced pads are a nice step up that wont dust as bad as HPSs.

eh, the dusting doenst bother me...

so, should i get the hawks for the front and then some cheapies for the back?

I have Hawk HPS pads. I haven't noticed dust levels any different from oem brakes. Hawk HP+ pads will eat through your rotors much faster. A lot of guys don't recommend them for daily driving. I think they are aimed at the autocross guys.

HPS's are plenty adequate for autocross champions in a car as light as a CRX. Definitely fine for street, too. I use HPSs in front and OEM in the rear.

I have the Hawk racing pads and boy do they grip! I only run them on my Si. My DX I just have some generic Autozone ceramic pads. They work better than the OEM pads and dust less. I really like them for daily driving.

Those racing pads really bite when you get hard on the brake.

My roommate has HPS on powerslots on his RSX type S. Definitely feel better than before, but they do dust a lot. Maybe it's different for the car, maybe the wheels make it more noticable, but his wheels (stock Acura) are always filthy in the front.

hmmm, i was reading on thier site that they're supposed to give off very little dust. eh, its no biggie anyway, my sawblades have seen much better days As long as they're quiet.

right now my pads are squeeling like Henry Hill.... :lol:

I bought the raybestos(sp?) ceramic pads for my dsm.. and those are fucking quiet.. and easily available at your local napa/pepboys.
