Anyone running Hawks Performance on stock or similar rotors? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As the title suggests, is anyone currently running Hawks pads on stock rotors or OEM style rotors? I can't decide if I want to do Hawks with R1 rotors or just go to NAPA Auto Parts and buy $80 rotors from them. I don't do track or anything and I still need to buy new tires so I am trying to budget where possible.

You dont have to buy new rotors. I am running Hawk HP Plus club/autocross HB453N.585 with my stock rotors. They stop great but are noisy as any "performance " pads would be as I am hearing. If you do not do AutoX, Drag racing or racing of any kind you really dont need new rotors unless yours are messed up. Also in a different Hawk ceramic thread one guy said he has used autozone ceramics and they were similar to the Hawk ceramics. That is always a option if you are on a budget. I have used the Autozone ceramics on a Jeep I used to have and had no problems with them.
