Hawk Performance HB589P.704 SuperDuty Brake Pad

They’re loud. And this is coming from someone who has owned hawk pads before. First set of hawk truck pads though. They grip exactly how you’d expect and are a serious upgrade in stopping power. But these may be the loudest pads I’ve ever owned. The squeak, squeal, and sound like metal all the time. And before someone says maybe you didn’t install them properly, that’s what I do for a living at a dealership. I’ve done brakes on this truck (my own) several times, and have had the identical truck before and done the brakes on it. I’ve always gone with the factory Toyota pads before, but wanted an upgrade. I’ve owned, hawk, multiple different ebc pads, stop tech, and Brembo pads. These are hands down the loudest.

Stops well after recommended bed-in procedure. I don't notice any significant noise from these. When I installed them, I put the anti-squeak stuff between the pad and the shim, and on the outside of the shim. I'm not sure what's going on that others are complaining that they're noisy. They do say they're not recommended for daily driven vehicles, but I tend to drive assertively so I bought them for their supposed resistance to fading when they warm up. I haven't tested that yet, but I'm satisfied so far. I'll be interested to see how long they last.

Installed these in place of OEM pads that had been put on my slotted rotors for my 2012 tundra. The OEM pads caused the rotors to glaze up and breaking power was bad to say the least. After getting off the glaze on the rotors and putting these on, I have had 0 issues after 20k miles. The also seem to be lasting much longer than my yellow stuff pads I had before (stopping power of the yellow ones was better but at the cost of tons of dust and much quicker wear.

Great stopping power, definitely better than OEM; however, they are really noisy meaning they squeak during a slow stop. Not a quick or mild squeak but a high pitched long squeak — pulled brakes back apart and cleaned everything, checked shims and seemed secure. Had them for a year and will be replacing. Would be great for a trailer, but not for a vehicle you drive daily around town.

They are a great change from my squeaky oem pads. I have a 6in lift on my tundra with 35s and that' s why I chose to go with better performance brake pads. In hopes they last longer but very easy to install.
