Review on πŸ¦… Hawk Performance HB502Z.606 Ceramic Brake Pads for Improved Performance by Mick Ohlrogge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very good brake pads, better than OEM

About three months ago I replaced the front brakes with Hawk pads, hoping they wouldn't be as dusty as the OEM pads. The only issue was whether these pads would perform as well as the original pads. Well it's been three months and 4,000 miles since I changed the front brake pads on my Q7. The result is pretty amazing. I didn't notice any reduction in braking performance (as good as the OEM), linear brake response, virtually no brake noise (quieter than the OEM), much less brake dust (didn't wash the rims after a brake change, but still very clean). ) . And now I went back and bought the same pads for the rear brakes. These pads are cheaper and better than OEM in every way.

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Appearance
