Hawk HP+ worth it?

![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So my brake pads are wearing and I'm thinking maybe I could try the Hawk HP+ pads . The problem I have is justifying paying almost twice as much for those pads as for the stock Acura pads I usually get. I know a lot of you guys say the stock brake setup sucks and whatnot but I just need an opinion. Would the increased stopping power/ durability of the Hawk HP+ pads justify spending almost twice as much as stock pads?

Get Performance Friction pads. They have great stopping power and a lifetime warranty. I swapped them out 2x on my SHO for free. I know one guy that had replaced them 6 times for free when they had worn (he has over 300k miles on his car).

I'm about to put Performance Friction on my CL-S in the next week or two. They only run about $30-$40 for a set. I think Autozone just calls them PF. I'll let you know how they work out.

im getting hawks hps soon...
well see..,.
on the accord i had hawks F+R, ss lines and motul fluid.. it was a good setup i almost left my teeth in the steering wheel when i hit the brakes in the begining when i wasnt used to the set up
if you bed the pads in PROPERLY you will be happy for street use.

I have been happy with the Hawk HPS pads as well. Once you use bed them in, they only have a light pink dust which really isn't that noticeable. Stopping is definitely better than stock.
