Hawk Brake Pads
#1
I've decided to invest in hawk hps front brake pads when my current stock brake pads need changing. They are just causing way too much dust brake and my stock but pretty 5 spoke rims are turning yellow.

Anyone know where i can get the hawk hps front brakes for a good price?? I've checked steeda but they sell em for $85. Most US sites sell it for around $60 and that's US dollars....so it's more like $52 cdn.

Looking for any other places that sell hawk hps brakes.

thanks, i've given up on Mitch completely! He hardly ever replies or takes the time (but i guess its cuz he's a busy man) whenever i needed parts or needed to order anything. I won't bother to waste my time trying to call him or get anything from him. I think Mitch pretty much works with inside people and not very open to new customers cuz he's a busy man.


I want to stay away from ceramic pads cuz those will kill the rotors (Unless you buy high grade rotors too but I am using stock rotors....i just want to change the brake pads to a low dust brake pad and the HPS series are low brake dust and also gentle on rotors....i've heard nothing but good reviews about them).

i dont think you are thinking about the same kind of ceramic pad i am talking about

they supposedly have even lower dust than the hawk hps.

hawk hps is a good choice, just wanted to put the ceramics out there, because i believe they were cheaper than the hps
