![]() I'm looking at getting new brake pads. After researching this as much as one can do in one night, I've come down to deciding between Hawk HPS Plus, Peformance Friction Z-rated, and PF Carbon Metallic. Some recomendations for the PFZ's were in the archives. The local shops here (Nor Cal) seem to mostly carry Hawk HPS pads. I couldn't find any info on the Carbon Metallics, but they were listed by Perf. Friction, so I was curious about them. I think the prices on all pads are approximately the same, but are there significant performance differences?
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. These are for a daily driver that sees an autocross (stock class) on a regular basis and some aggressive street driving, as well as lots of open hwy miles. thx!!! ------------------ 98 GT Conv: K&N, Pro-5.0, MSD wires ...more to come |

![]() The shops local to metro-Detroit carry PF-Z pads at Autozone. I used these on my stock brakes for a few years. Got new warranty pads every spring
![]() Hawk HPS pads I hear are good too. Never used them myself. I think between the two is like arguing between Mobil-1 and Syntec synthetic oils. Both are great, just pick a brand... ------------------ Darius Rudis Roadracer: Home built t-arm/panhard suspension powered by an S-trimmed motor :-) My Mustang Page |
