I plan on getting these. This guy isn't to far away from me, and I confirmed that he will allow my to pick it up.

This along wilth some HAWK HPS brake pads. This ebay selller also had some cadmium plated brakes also; are these well worth it?

Also, how's everyone with Textar brake pads? I heard that they squeak a lot; whereas for the HAWKs, I've heard nothing but good things.

Not the same application, but I recently put new Hawk HPS pads and Brembo rotors on my Subaru and have been happy with the result. Better feel and performance, but the starting level is not nearly the same as with the Boxster. Let us know how they feel in the Boxster...
