Never had Hawk pads but I know (from what I heard) that the Hawk HP’s are amazing as far as stopping, but they squeak and squeal.

You should have post this in the Performance section not here.

I'm running hawk pads and they brake very well, dust is low but they are a bit noisy. Doesn't bother me though.

HP+ will be noisy but stops a bit better. I have HPS on brembo slotted rotors and they dont make any noise and theres no dust from them either. They don't stop as quick as the stock brembo pads, but I was tired of washing my rims every 2 days cuz those pads dust like crazy.

i have HPS pads front and back. the rear pads on brembo blanks squawk only when backing up. takes a week for any noticeable dusting on the wheels.

recently switched my front rotor from OEM to powerslot rotors... so far i like my set up.

i can't remember how the stock brembo pads performed...it's been a while since i couldn't stand the dusting.
