Default Brake Change - Again

I just changed my brakes from ceramic to HPS- High Perf St, and took it out for a test drive today and am highly impressed. They feel like the original brakes when coming down from high speeds (150mph), plus there is little dust, not like the original pads. When I had the ceramic's on I had to come down from the same speed and wondered if the car was going to stop on-time or not - it did, but decided then that I would change the brakes. So if you want to change out for less dust I would highly recommend these pads.

Cheers from Germany.

Are you talking about Hawk pads? I used them on my 1999 Camaro SS and loved them, I will use them again when I change out the pads and rotors on my 2003 Z06.
