That seems like a good deal.

Are these hawk pads worth it?

[mrodrig2]

I've never bought Hawk pads because their price was never really attractive to me, but at $55 a set, that puts them on parity with Akebono ceramics.

The HPS are supposed to be an upgrade for street use. Better stopping but at the sacrifice of noise and dust. The OEM pads don't seem very clean to me so maybe these are worth a shot.

what about life span?

HPS - High Performance Street Brake Compound

Superior Stopping Power

HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance’s HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology.

The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you’ll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..

HPS Ferro-Compound Features:

Increased stopping power High friction/torque hot or cold Gentle on rotors Extended pad life Low dust Virtually noise-free All Hawk Performance High Performance Street brake pads provide a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products to be free of defects from manufacturer’s workmanship and materials.

Note:Hawk Performance burnishes its High Performance Street brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.

what about life span?

They are a little more aggresive pad than your regular semi mettalic or organic

I would guess above normal wear. seeing that they offer 20% to 40% better stopping power.

Better stopping power = more wear?

Give up some wear for Superior Stopping Power

Ive owned these pads for several years and cars and have noticed a better bite when stopping.

I currently have them on my 3/4 ton Dodge truck and it stops better than before and will add them to the AC and my kids Cobalt.

I price checked other pads at my local Autozone and others and they ranged from $25 to $75

These pads retail for about $70 everywere else

So it was a no brainer for me 2 sets for $110 +12 shipping

[GrayCoupe]

$120 I think it's a good deal, I tried other vendors and they would match that + tax, so you are saving 7-9%

Normally they are:HB268F.665 HPS $ 65.76HB600F.539 HPS $ 65.00Plus shipping

Couldn't find anything for the HPS, but TireRack has the Akebono performance street pads and their premium ceramic pads on special for $43-58 per set depending on front/rear.
