Review on πŸ¦… Hawk Performance HB103F.590 HPS Performance Ceramic Brake Pad: Unparalleled Braking Performance by Jesse Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good grip, quiet, no dust, best for moderately modified vehicles

I have used these on my Chevelle 69 and have been very satisfied. I find the braking performance sufficient for my enthusiastic driving style, they make no noise and my gray wheels show no dust at all. They don't bite too fast, they modulate easily, but a heavy machine with big blocks will stop with a good handbrake job. I have an adjustable proportional valve and had to adjust the front/rear offset to work better with my rear Kevlar drum brakes to facilitate early front lock-up (compared to OEM style organic pads). I just bought a second set during a front end rebuild but they didn't really need them as the last pair had about 60% left after a few thousand miles. They're great for a mod street car, great for quarter-mile blowouts (low 13s), but I'd switch to a race compound if you're spending track days on the road.

Pros
  • Brake system
Cons
  • Socket required
