Review on 🦅 Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 HB453B.585 Disc Brake Pad by David Pirlet

Long term test. My first set is coming to an end. Came from EBC Blues. HPs are more roadworthy and bite less than Blues. Easier to modulate braking, more predictable and less jerky. The noise didn't start until near the end, and even then it was an occasional beep. Brake dust was less than an OEM Brembo for a mile and less than a blues. Brake feel was excellent on track days. after many rounds. (There's also an air-cooled duct in the front) If you want higher than OEM performance but with OEM wear and tear and noise/dust, then great. If you're just tracking your car, then you're probably going higher on the HPS/ebc Richter scale.
