I then hit it a third time and boom stopped instantly (not gonna lie came pretty close to hitting that car haha) I think since I spread apart the calibers to put the new pads on it had to take a couple of pumps from the pedal to make everything go back to normal. After the bedding process I can say the car stops a heck of a lot better! I think that is mainly due to the HPS pad upgrade as opposed to the slotted/drilled rotors.

In short they are amazing and def advise atleast upgrading to the Hawk HPS pads.


The only reason I laugh is because something like this happened to me. I did my bedding in process in my neighborhood and right before I went to go and do a left turn I went to hit my breaks. Lets just say its not a good feeling when your going 30 MPH and your breaks feel like the clutch. So I decided to slow down with my transmission and pump the breaks at the same time. But when the pressure was finally back my car stopped rather quickly also.

And like KJ said I have no noise either. I was told the harder you are on them while bedding them in the less noise and longer they will last over their life time. At the end of all the stops the instructions have you do my pads were smoking a little from how hard I was stoping.

Probably shouldn't even bring it up, it would likely start something. For any questions about a company's specific system it is probably best to PM them privately.

Bought my OBX headers a few days ago, a Vararam to replace my K&N today and I'll be getting the trifecta tune pretty soon. Can't wait to take it out for a drive once I've installed everything.
