Hawk HPS rears for me...

Had to get rear pads. Rotors had been turned once already (previous owner) so I just got some OEM replacement rotors ($30) + Hawk HPS pads. Definite improvement on stock rotors so you should get even more of an improvement. Did a lot of reading and Hawk HPS had good reviews from folks with cross-drilled/slotted rotors. Rear pads only do approx. 35% (give or take) of a Max's stopping, so if you are doing fronts, Hawk HPS will be nice investment (expensive over other non-performance pads). They aren't to hard on rotors compared to their stopping power. I experience zero "noise" from them....

hello thanks for your reply. and the problem is that im curently using hps pads with my stock rotors for front and it seems to me that with oem pads the pedal is fermer and they make allot of noise. would stock pads work good with cross drilled rotors? or they are not desighned for them? thanks!

When you are changing the pads, apply disc quiet grease, which you can buy at autozone, etc... this will solve the noise problem.
