Pros: Works as advertised
Cons: None

I scored these pads in conjunction with Powerslot rotors (front and rear), as recommended on Powerslot's website. It's hard to know which product works better, but they definitely work well. I have seen many good recommendations out there for this product and I'm certain they'd work well without Powerslots too.

I was very happy with the Powerslot/Hawk combo but only had for a short while before I traded in my '00 Sport on a '99 Eddie Bauer. I'll defintely go with this setup on my Eddie when my brakes show signs of wear.

Pros: great stopping
Cons: more dust than stock

These things work great, I will only use these pads after having this set. A friend of mine uses hawk pads on his race ready BMW M3 and he also swears by them. Only problem is they do make a good bit of dust but since i wash once a week, give or take, it is not a problem. This is one of the trade offs you get for a high performance pad.

Pros: Good stopping power. Low dust. Low noise
Cons: none

These pads work great. My only complaint is the back came off and fell apart on my fronts. Took them back and got a new pair, been fine ever since.

Pros: excellent smooth stopping capability
Cons: none

I have Hawk LTS on the front and HPS at the back and they perform great! I don’t have to put a lot of pressure on the pedal when doing highway speed braking. Smooth, never had any kind of brake noise. Significantly decreased stopping distance. Recommended!

Pros: Low brake dust, no noise, great stopping power

Installed these pads when I installed my Brembo rotors. Low brake dust, no noise, improved stopping power. Great product and highly recommended.

Pros: Much better stopping power over stock pads
Cons: More dust than stock pads but not by much

Installed Hawk HPS (High Performance Street), plain Brembo rotors in the front. No noise, a little more dust than stock pads, much improved stopping power. Be sure to double check the position of the "feeler" tabs before installing. I had to rotate the feeler tabs with a pair of pliers to be able to install the pads. Only have about 1000 kms on them so far and will update this review later.
