Hawk HPS pads, how much dust? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

JDP Motorsports · 11-01-2011, 02:18 PM

The Hawk HPS pads produce less dust than the stock pads and they perform better than the stock pads. The Hawk PC (Performance Ceramic) pads produce even less dust and they perform very similar to the stock pads. We sale an equal amount of either set up. Please feel free to call, email or PM me anytime with questions.

Kind regards,

Which is better for a daily driver, HPS or PC?

I like the HPS myself for street use but if you want super low dust I would go with the PC, they are both excellent compounds.

In terms of durability, minimal dust, and performance the Hawk HPS pads are some of the very best on the market. They're our best seller for brake pads.
As for dust difference between stock, like most people said, you'll see less than half. The reduction is definitely hugely noticeable, but, there's still going to be some dust.
If you're really fed up with dust to the point of wanting next to none, ceramic is certainly the way to go. The Hawk Ceramic pads are great at minimal dust and perform well, but, will wear out faster than a carbon compound pad like the HPS. Also, the Ceramics do perform well (significantly better than stock) but not as well as the HPS. They're both great set-ups that I've seen run with great results, and they're both HUGE upgrades over stock, so can't go wrong either way.
Any other questions you might have, just give me a call and I'll help you out!

Thanks,
Matt

Hawk ceramic pads are the only way to go! You can forget about brake dust all together

+1 Price - I would suggest Maryland Speed, but since Apex chimed in I will give him props too.
