So far, so good! on pads

Although I only installed them about a month ago and can't rate their long term quality, so far they have been excellent. No noise and great pedal feel under moderate to heavy braking.

Pros
  • HPS - High Performance Street Brake Compound
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Significant improvement in overall braking performance

1. Less dust than OEM (Porsche, Audi, VW)2. Much stronger initial bite.3. noisy . I have said this by using 3 of these kits daily on my Porsche for the track. It's not silent. So get ready to listen to the sound of "zzzzzz. zeeeee" to get used to.

Pros
  • Rotor care
Cons
  • Modern

Fantastic, buy the whole set front and back.

Fantastic, buy the whole set front and rear, you won't believe the braking. The only way not to be impressed is if you have tires that can't match the stopping power of those pads, then the only solution is to buy better tires. then you will absolutely love it.

Pros
  • Virtually silent
Cons
  • Not automatic

Those are the front pads! Bad product description

Be careful. After reading the description I looked under "Product Description" and then under "Position" and it says "Rear". So I assumed they were for the rear rotors, but they are actually for the front rotors. Also the diagram for the front pads doesn't give any instructions but the diagram for the back pads does. Luckily I'll leave my car for the long haul so I'll use them when I'm ready.

Pros
  • Increased braking performance
Cons
  • There are problems

I'm disappointed in these pads

I have a 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan 4WD and have fitted these pads on all four corners with new discs (with specially machined discs which is an advantage to me versus stock performance). I have mixed feelings about the Hawks' performance, but overall I'm not happy and I regret the purchase. I read a few reviews here on Revain that said the pads weren't that great. And one in particular said that the "bite" (initial grip) of the pads was disappointing compared to the OEM. I bought the pads anyway…

Pros
  • High friction/torque hot or cold
Cons
  • Out of fashion
