Review on Hawk Performance HB145F.570 HPS Rear Performance 🦅 Ceramic Brake Pad: Superior Stopping Power and Durability by Larry Cho

After owning and using these pads for a few months I have come to the conclusion that these are excellent brake pads. To be honest I wish I could give it a 4.5 instead of a 4 but it's not really a 5 so I have to give it a 4. The performance is great, I would say it's better than the OEM pads. With these pads you have a lot of brake dust on your wheels. I installed them on my daily driver (Civic EX '11) and over time I've had very brown/orange tinted wheels due to brake dust. This isn't an issue with OEM pads, so it's a small compromise - I had to subtract 0.5 from my estimate.
