Hawk brakes

I put a pair of Hawk brake pads on the front.
Any pros/cons?

Re: Hawk brakes (Vette Ed)

Hawk makes very good brake pads.. I've used the 9012 compound, they call it blue, on my camaro that I road race. I've used the Hawk HP Plus on the vette, I don't race it.. too much. Very little pad fade, good pedal response and modulation both hot and cold. with the HP Plus, and the price is good.

Installed them on my '88 2 months or so ago. Running the 1/4 I noticed to difference or the stock pads. You can't go wrong eith them. IMO

I've had them on my 93 for about 5 months - luv them. They are quiet, don't fade too much, very low dusting (its gray dust too), and the few times I've had to really brake hard they performed excellent.

Re: Hawk brakes (Vette Ed)

I just installed a complete set of the Hawk HPS about 3 weeks ago. Much better than the stock. I noticed a difference. I don't race so these are good enough. May want to get the hi po versions if you plan on it.
