HAWK PERFORMANCEHB145F.570 HPS Performance Street Brake Pads

Hawk brake pads give much better braking performance than the Honda factory pads.They are quiet with no squealing of any kind. The may groan a bit when moving at very low speeds while pressing the brake pedal, but many pads do that.Note the picture is a generic picture of front pads.Make sure you have the correct part number by going to the Hawk Performance website!For the rears make sure you align one of the grooves on the caliper piston with the pin on the pad.

Purchased the Hawk Performance HB145F.570 HPS Rear brake pads for my 2001 acura cl type s. Unfortunately, these pads were not a direct bolt on. I went to install them and could not push the caliper on all the way. The caliper piston was hitting a metal boss on the back of the pad. I had to grind one of the protruding round button off the back of the pad backing plate. Once done the calipers installed correctly. I paired them with new drilled and slotted rear rotors. For the front, I also went with Hawk Performance HPS pads along with a new set of drilled and slotted rotors. After initially seating these brake pads, the combination is great. I have at time of writing about 600 miles on them with quite a few high speed express way stops. Brake pedal pressure is smooth and stopping power is excellent for a daily driver. As far as brake dust, well after 600mi some dust washed off nothing excessive. I have used Hawk HPS pads on other vehicles and have been very happy and its the first time I have ever had a fit issue.

Brake dust is pretty heavy than OEM, leaves a little residue on the stock rims of my Civic. Nonetheless it does have great braking though.

I have had Hawk HPS brake pads on the front of my 05 Civic for the last 3 years and they have performed very well. The pedal feels very firm and responsive and the front pads still have plenty of friction material left after 3 years of use. I purchased the same pads for my rear brakes when I converted them to discs because I was so impressed with the front pads and these rear pads also seem to perform very well and not make much dust. The only complaint I have is that for this price it would be nice if the pads included the clips with them, but oh well.

After owning and using these for several months now, I've concluded that these are great brake pads. Honestly I would like to give a 4.5 rating as opposed to a 4, but it's just not quite a 5 so I have to give it a 4.The performance is excellent, I'd say it's better than the OEM pads.However, with these pads you are going to get a lot of brake dust on your wheels. I have these installed on my daily driver (Civic EX '11) and I have very brown/orange-y tinted wheels over time due to the brake dust. This isn't a problem with OEM pads, so it is a minor tradeoff - that I had to dock off 0.5 from my rating.

I've written another review on the same Hawk HPS brake pads for a different vehicle, so this will be redundant. They produce no noise (that I can hear), wear excellently, produce little to no dust, produce fantastic stopping power, and pair with pretty much any rotor that I've ever used from high-performance (i.e. StopTech slotted rotors) to basic OEM replacement rotors.Can't go wrong, and for my current applications, I don't need anything greater (e.g. don't need ceramic pads or anything track-related). These are wonderful replacements for your daily driver.

Awesome brakes, I notice a little less stopping power when wet. I plan on using these on all my cars from now own

I installed these in my 2003 Civic Si. Their performance is excellent, no fade and noticeably smoother and better brake performance over OEM brakes I had installed. I've had them installed for about two months now with virtually no dust accumulation. The slight noise I hear I believe is due to the EBC slotted/dimpled rotors I replaced the OEM rotors with. These pads are light years better than OEM or any Raybestos OE replacement.Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, Amazon's price/prime shipping. I highly recommend them and would most definitely purchase again.

Good pads but its dusty
