After almost 2 months of waiting for the Hawk pads that were on back order, i got them this morning and went straight to the shop to have everything put on....I am very happy with the look and the feel.....
STOCK....
AFTER INSTALL....
AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE....
My buddy installed them for me at his shop...only charged me $35 so I wasn't complaining!
All said and done the rotors and pads ran me $280 shipped, plus the install price....not to bad!
Well, brake feel wise, i can tell they are a lot smoother than stock, much less fade in the few times i have had to stop hard in traffic. Today in the rain, i had to hit them pretty hard because of construction, and my ABS didnt even kick in....as far a pedal fee, it is really the same. The only thing that would allow for even more firm pedal feel would be some high temp DOT 4 brake fluid and stainless braided brake lines. Other than that, they feel great, look great, and i am goin to the 1/4 track on saturday, so i will see how they hold up to that test......
I am very happy with the results, and will actually be ordering the rear rotors soon also, but mostly for looks, since they only account for 20% of braking!
