Hawk vs. StopTech pads?

Anyone have a recommendation one way or the other?

Thanks!

Great input ;-)

How about the stopping power, bite, etc in comparison to OE?

The HPS doesn't have quite the initial bite as the old-style OEM pads. But they still bite a lot better than some "low dust" pads I had for about 6 months that I hated.

The HPS grip ramps up pretty quickly though, and they are very strong once you start putting some pressure on them. I'd say once you get to medium and hard pedal pressures, they are as good, if not better than the stock pads.

and of course, they dust a lot less than OEM.
