shox.com sells hawk hps for $59

I have them they're awsome
metal master & quiet stop do not stop as well as hawk & I heard the hawk & porterfield is really close in performance. My hawk don't dust much.. only have to clean the wheel like once a week I heard porterfield dust more

I have the Hawk HPS pads and I am very happy with them. They are very quiet, no noise that I can hear. I installed them along with Powerslot rotors. I bought the rotors and pads from Shox.com and received them the next day .

Costcowholesale is right, I was originally going to get them through the TireRack but saved a few bucks with Shox.com.


By the way, costcowholesale how much did you pay for you Illuminas?

I e-mailed shox.com and asked them to match this guy's price but use usps as shipping because UPS shipping will kill me when crossing the border... like $100-200 extra fees

Thanks, I will email them when I am ready to buy the Illuminas and see what deal they can give me. I would have picked up my rotors and pads in person but they did not have them here in San Diego, they are located about 8 miles from me in El Cajon, CA. They only charged me like $6 bucks shipping though, not bad at all.
