Has anyone used both the standard Nismo brake pads and also the Hawk HPS? Which would you say are better?

Are the Nismo really worth paying an extra $50 each for?

I can't speak for the NISMO, but I have used the Hawks on my I30 and also on my G's rears.

The hawk seem to be nicer to the rotors than the OEM. My rear rotors were a little off when I replaced the pads and with the new pads then seem smoother.

I just stress breaking in the Hawks correctly. Not doing so is horrible.
