brake pads
I've noticed that a lot of people recommend Hawk brand brake pads for the C5. I'm going to have to replace the rear pads on my '02 Coupe soon. Which Hawk pads are recommended for a street-only C5? I don't hammer it but I do drive aggressively at times and stop the same way sometimes. Looking around, it appears there are several types of Hawk pads.
Also, if I put Hawk brand on the back, should I replace the front at the same time with Hawk? In other words, are the Hawk pads that much better than stock that putting a set on the back could cause a problem if I don't also replace the front with Hawk?
My rotors are in good shape front and rear so I won't be replacing them at this time.
Thanks in advance.
