The calipers are in bad shape. They will be going black in a few weeks with that foilatech stuff.
A buddy with an rsx is doing his black and i'm using what's left over. I had tons left over when i did mine.

J- the Hawk Black HP+ is a good pad, I have lots of Hawk experience. Please read the instructions and follow them to the letter to bed the pads in, trust me, it makes a difference. You will find additional black dust on your wheels compared to OEM, but then again, not much because it is the rear.

I am very happy with these new rotors and pads. I didn't think it would make much of a difference but it's very noticable. The rear end stays planted now. It also takes less pedal pressure to stop. However they do make some noise softly stopping at slow speeds.
Doug I read both the powerslot and hawk bed in process. They were basically the same (6-10 medium stops from 35-5mph, let cool, then 2-3 hard stops from 50-10mph). Done and Done, plus no hard high speed stops for 300-500 miles.

...it wasn't meant to be a bust...
