Hawks performance Brake Pads
HPS HB 145570

Help.. Are they street or race pads? Are they good? Prices?

hawk blues - they aren't bad. I've had them on other cars, but not this one. I would say its about like an R4S - and very streetable.

HPS stands for High Performance Street ,and in my view are not surperior to the OEMs.

HP+ are a step up from the HPS, and offer performance slightly superior to the OEMs, but are not appropriate for "street only" applications.

9012 (blues) stop much better, if not necessarily in a shorter distance, but are track only pads which are actually very corrosive for the paint when it rains ( I f___ed up my paint, bigtime).

Hawk blues are very rotor-agressive, for street go with black. R4s or panther plus is a much better alt. imo.

Hawk HPS pads are NOT blues! They are no more than a high performance street pad which begin fading after 2 or 3 laps on the track. OK for auto-cross. Much the same as stock pads with more dust and noise.

Hawk blues on the other hand are a track only pads.

To comment intelligently to your request we must know what you want to use these pads for. Personally I've run Hawk 9012 (blues), Portedfields R4 and Panther+ on the S2K, for track use. On previous cars I've run also Hawk HPS and HP. With this experience in hand I still recommend the OEM pads for the street.
