Review on Hawk Performance HB509F 678 Ceramic Brake by Cesar Rios

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Don't buy it, it creaks terribly.

Pros: Great stopping power and price for performance pads. Looked great behind the spokes of my 14 Charger SXT AWD. Cons: The pads squeaked like a stereotypical city bus stopping. Will not be recommending Hawk products in the future. I've reinstalled them 3 times, tried different brands of brake grease on the guide lugs, and even tried putting the disc brake on the skid plate on the third install. I've contacted Hawk Customer Service but haven't heard a sound yet (too soon). I ended up replacing them with a couple of Duralast Gold pads and had no squeaks with the same installation procedure. Very disappointed but can't return because I have 5 days past the cutoff.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Will be added later
