Product review...Hawk ceramic pads!
 
Can't believe I didn't run these sooner.

Almost zero brake dust, seems incapable of making a noise.

After 3 weeks of city driving I can still see the factory finish pattern on my rotors. They barely wear, the pads or rotors. Semi metallic type had the rotors shiny in no time.

Never tracked my car so don't know how they do under those conditions.

Highly recommend.

Vendor/product link?? I assume there are matching rotors to go with the pads?

Pelican.

OEM rotors.

It's that simple...

Thank you.

Funny, I was thinking about this the other day, when I was cleaning the brake dust off my wheels, wondering if there were ceramic systems available at a reasonable cost. This is great news for me.

I chased a squeal for weeks. Between that and wiping my rims every other day, this is a real improvement.
