I installed Hawk HPS about 6k miles ago, here are my observations:

Pros:
* WAY less dust than OEM

* ABSOLUTELY no noise/squealing

* Cheaper than OEM

* In normal street use no difference to OEM

Cons:
* no holes for the brake sensors (which I don't care about)

* I would not advise them for track use, I had fading after a few laps at Laguna Seca

Summary: I will/would buy them again. I will buy either Pagid Orange or BHP XPS for the track and run the Hawk purely on the street and Auto-X
