🚀 Hawk Performance HB370F.559 HPS Ceramic Brake Pad for Optimal Performance Review

Installed these pads on a 2003 G35 sedan, fit and finish is great. The kit included brake lube to prevent squeaking. There is practically no dust from the pads.

Not much to compare but they work great on my 2004 G35 (rear). The installation went smoothly, no squeaking or background noises can be heard. Don't even waste your time messing around with the included thermal paste/squeak suppressor. You won't need it. I will buy them again when needed!

These are easy to install in my G35. The only thing to note is that the pads with wear indicators must be installed on the inside of the brake system, ie facing the interior of the vehicle. The pads creaked a bit when first put on, but that soon went away. Biting on it is noticeably better than on oe.

I bought these pads on the recommendation of my mechanic. They arrived earlier than expected and so far I can't tell them apart from the original pads. That's not bad as the OEM pads were adequate, but I was expecting more stopping power. I am not disappointed with this purchase and would probably buy them again. Although I have to admit I was expecting a bit more.

Although I have used Hawk pads in the past with no problems. This time I had a very annoying knock, I can only conclude it was the wrong shape of the pad on one side of the rear set. After developing this knock-knock pattern with a new rotor and the correct seating procedure, I replaced another new rotor, clamps and gauge, reapplied the anti-vibration product and the noise was still there (only when braking). Recently, after a few months, I noticed that the noise and vibration were gone and I…

I also changed the rear pads on my 15 Q50. And I'm impressed with the braking power of the pads. Before buying the pads, it was already clear to me that the pads squeak a little when they are cold and that there is a slight shaking when you first stop, as soon as you drive for the first time after a long break. But once the pads are warm (about a 5-10 minute ride) the brakes work phenomenally. You can stop at any time and it seems to have very strong traction compared to the Akebono the car…
