Review on Hawk Performance HB418F 646 Ceramic Brake by Mark Harris

Put these on my 2012 Honda Fit which has terrible brake pads from the factory (my 2008 Toyota FJ stops much better and is huge in comparison). It took about 10 minutes per wheel. They're falling straight, no modifications needed as far as I can tell. They capture much better and I at least have the feeling that they work much better. I didn't compare the stops X to 0, so I have to follow my intuition. They're clean too - no more brake dust than stock pads. My only issue is that at very low speeds (exiting the garage or parking lot) they rub loudly - sounds like rubbing wet skin on a balloon. It's pretty minor and I wouldn't advise against buying them because of this small flaw. Just be aware it's happening so you're not caught off guard. I've been waiting to write this review to see if it goes away after a break in period but I've already put a few thousand miles on them and they still do.
