🦅 Hawk Performance HB194Z.570 Ceramic Brake Pad for Enhanced Performance Review

Great for outdoor use but will shave off your track time by a few tenths of a second. They don't kill rotors like Brembo bearings, but they don't grip well either (about 90% bearings). However, they are about 10% less dusty than standard. The car I used this on is a 2010 Cadillac CTS-V.

I installed these rear brake pads only to find out they sold me a lemon. The liner on the right back is ceramic. However, the pad on the left rear side is not made of ceramic, as the brake dust proves. Since I didn't put them on immediately and only now noticed brake dust, it's too late to return these pads. I hope the seller fixes everything. Just take a look!

I replaced the semi-metallic pads with these because I got tired of cleaning my wheels every 100 miles. The product works as advertised. Excellent braking performance, very low dust and noise levels. After installing these pads, the wheels stay cleaner longer. The dust isn't dark, so it's not as noticeable as semi-metallic pads, and the pads themselves don't generate as much dust.

I replaced my stock SRT jeep brake pads with these because the dust was driving me crazy. The good news is that there is very little dust on these pads and they seem to stop just as well as the standard pads. The bad news is that after a quiet first week, they squeak quite a bit about half the time. Aggravating. I have contacted Hawk Customer Service but have not received a response.
