Review on Hawk Performance HB363F 689A Ceramic Brake by Grant Galloway

These pads have far less dust than OEM compounds, although slightly more than traditional "ceramic" pads like Akebono. Feeling of more efficient braking. The downside to this is that they need more agility to balance braking speed and pedal pressure - if you brake hard, you may be braking faster than you (or the person behind you!) expect. How much do I like these pads? This is the second set of these pads that I put on the car. The first set lasted about 100,000 miles (a mix of city and highway driving) with the rotors showing minimal wear. I expect this kit to outlast my car ownership and I now use the same mix on every car in the family.
