Default Which Hawk pad do you recommend.

Going to change my squealing oe pads out for Hawk pads. Looked at two pads on line , Hawk Performance Creamic Pads and The Hawk HPS Street pads opinions please. While I'm at it change the brakes lines to SS. Had the HPS pads and SS lines on my 96 and never heard a squeal and the car stopped great.

Had the Hawk HPS on my C5 with Eradispeed rotors - they worked great. When it is brake time on the C6 - that is where I will go.

I have the Hawk HPS pads on my Z-51. They are great. Less dust and no squeal and better stopping. I also added the Stoptec SS lines as well. You can't go wrong with either one.

I was literally just looking at them, like 87 USD for the fronts. I will be doing this before the next track session I think.
