2003 INFINITI G35 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear 6 Cyl 3.5L Hawk

They are a performance brake pad, my Infiniti seems to stop when it should.. hopefully a longer life than my past rear pads.. which were good for 7 months..

Great Pads!

Brakes work great, not dust free

The break pads are almost dust free. The wheel look clean for a week!With the original BMW pads, the wheels are dirty after two days.My only complaint is that I have the feeling that I need to put harder on the paddle to break than with the original BMW pads.

Love the bite the hawk HPS provide on the street. They are a tad pricier than other brands, but I feel worth it

I put Hawk HPS pads on all of my vehicals. They wick heat away from the rotor. If you drive spirtedly & use your brakes accordingly, these pads are worth the investment. I was changing my warped rotors every 3 or 4 months until I started using HPS pads. I have tried all kinds of brake pad brands and compounds. From organic, to metallic, and even ceramics. None of them have served me as well as the HPS.

Loud but great bite

I have experience with various Hawk pads from my old days of driving on the track (with other cars). The HPS's are a performance street pad though, so I wasn't sure what to expect. My usage is daily driving only (no more track time), occasionally spirited. I replaced all for corners at the same time on a 335i w/Sport package.- There is no noise to these pads. I made sure to spray a good amount of anti-squeal on the backs of the pads prior to installation, so make sure you do the same. So far though, no squeal at all.- There is noticeably less initial bite/friction when you apply the brakes with these. I always thought the OEM initial friction was too aggressive anyway, so I count this as an improvement actually, but it will require me to re-acclimate to the car a bit (pressing harder on the brake pedal than I'm used to)- Since I'm having to press a little harder on the brake pedal now, I'm noticing that my pedal is a little mushier than I ever realized before...

PERFECTO!!!

Purchased these pads for my Toyota Matrix XRS, and I am in love with the HPS line of pads for stock calipers. Low dust, no noise. The pedal feel is exactly the same for the first half of the travel, but immediately becomes grabbier on the back half. The benefit is that they're completely drivable for daily use, maintaining an easy stopping without abrupt shifts, yet makes a difference for autocross and spirited driving.

Great price for a high quality product.

Great OEM brake pad replacement. Follow the bed-in procedures on the box. Had them on for a couple of months and they've done great in subzero to +50F temps, long drives and offroad. Interested to see how long they last. Hard to comment on brake dust since I have black wheels that spend most of their life covered in mud and road salt. So far, I'd buy them again, and for me to say that, means a lot.

work great

My personal favorite brake pads for the street when considering stopping power, initial bite, wear, and dust.I put these on my SUV also.Initial bite is not as strong as PBR Carbon Ceramics or Axxis Metal Matrix, but those don't have the stopping power of Hawk HPS.Dust is better than Performance Friction, but I do think PF stops better for the street pad- gets stronger as you slow down.Better in every way than Raybestos Carbon Metallics.

its stoping power is greatI am using it on my 2005 1.6 glx lancer

These pads with CryoSlot Rotors are an INCREDIBLE team for serious street driving.

They r great

So far 50 miles of reliable, quiet stopping. No complaints here.

Excellent fit on my AP Racing CP5200 4 pot BBK. Very little brake dust. Can go two weeks without washing my car. No squealling at all. Now where do I get the rotors???

Works great. Has good stopping power. I would not do the break-in procedure. I think that warped my rotors (not sure though).

Got this to replace my distorted brake pad. It's made of high quality materials, I've been using it for 5 months and still I haven't seen any irregularities on it.

AAAAAAA+++

Awesome performance and value. These are a major step up from my previous set-up with RacingBrake ET500s and cost less too. I drive mostly around town (big city) and even in the winter (freezing temps), these have great initial bite without requiring high-speed warm-ups.

Stop quickly. Low dust. Good packaging.

I've had two sets on my '99 Grand Prix GTP with powerstop slotted rotors. After break-in (this is important), the pads were quiet and did much better than the OEM pads. They do work better when warm. I also have these pads on a '99 Chev Malibu with the same result. I have not experienced any noise, squeak, or high wear on the rotors.

Great

Work perfectly for my g8 gt.

Great stopping power. A little weak when they are cold though. When they warm up, they are great. I have heard that some say that theirs are noisy and have alot of dust, but mine are great.

Pros: Great stopping power. Amazing fade resistance. My rotors were (probably) on fire (brake grease got cooked, charring on the calipers, RBF-600 fluid boiled) and these pads kept biting and biting. Not only good stopping power, but even at low speeds they drive like normal brakes. At "street" speeds they have a lot of initial bite (more than ceramic performance pads) and I felt they were reasonably easy to modulate even with all the engagement up front.Cons: These things dust. Really, really bad. However bad you think brake pads can dust, multiply that by 3 and that's halfway describing how bad these pads dust. These pads also squeal coming to a stop at low speeds. It's not an obnoxiously loud squeal or anything like that, but it's something where a pedestrian would probably look at your car and think you needed new pads.Overall: These pads are for people who get their brakes hot. Unless you drive double the speed limit everywhere and have a...

Fantastic pads for sporty-ish daily driving. Wouldn't take these to the track or on the stupidest of canyon runs but are a great performing pad for daily driving. Work well in southern California climate (read: haven't tried in freezing temp's). Pedal feel is firm, with moderate initial bite and linear modularity. Noise is well controlled and dust is moderate. Have only driven for a few thousand miles and cannot yet speak to longevity or disk wear.

Quiet brake pads, and efficient stopping power. The only issue I have with these is all the dust I get on the rims. I didn't have this problem with the original equipment pads. I installed these brake pads on a 2002 Toyota 4Runner

They work well. Don't fade etc but on a miata they squeak really badly. I wish you could buy QFM A1RM pads here.

work good

Great product!

These pads stop a Suburban. They are not dusty, not loud. I put them also on a Explorer, front and back. They work.

GOOD

Great stopping power, plus much less brake dust than the OEM pads on my Focus ST.

High quality brakes, but they make noise when braking.

Good so far for my Nissan titan. I feel confident having a respected name like Hawk. A little dust brake in the beginging but that just happens for any new set of pads. They start to feel better the more miles you put on.

Brakes squeak, leave tons and tons of brake dust. Great stopping power without a doubt, but its a hassle to keep cleaning rims. Next time ill go with original parts.

These are a great performance pad. Make sure to check fitment, Hawk's website has a lot of useful fitment information including brake pad pictures and measurements. These pads are rotor hungry and produce a ton of dust and sound like a freight train trying to stop. -You've been warned!The stopping power of these pads are what make putting up with the noise and dust worthwhile.

stops well predictable

I've been running these on my 69 Chevelle and have been very satisfied. I find the stopping power to be adequate for my very enthusiastic driving style, they make no noise and my grey wheels show no dust at all. They don't bite too quickly, easy to modulate, but get my nose heavy big block machine stopped with a good push on the manual brakes. I do have an adjustable proportioning valve and had to tweak the front / rear bias to work best with my rear kevlar drum brakes to alleviate early front lock up (as compared to OEM style organic compound pads). Just bought a second set during a front end rebuild, but didn't really need them as the last pair still had about 60% left after several thousand miles. These are great for a modified street car, fine for whoaing things down after a blast down the quarter mile (low 13's), but I'd step up to a race compound if you do track days on road courses.

OK so now I've had these installed for over a year and they're absolutely great and have huge stopping power when compared to the oem brakes. The I KY problem I have with then is that they started squealing and screeching after about 6 months with them on. Turns out that these aren't great for an everyday driver but meant more for a car you take on to the track or so since they're high friction pads. Other than making that mistake on my own these brakes are awesome.

I used these pads on my BMW E46 330i @ Watkins Glen for a 2-day track day, and they worked great! Stopping power was dramatically better than the stock pads, and there was little/no brake fade throughout sessions of 15-20 laps. They definitely work as advertised with CRAZY stopping power. Installation was simple & easy.Now the downside...After following Hawk's bedding-in instructions for the pads, I still could not believe how LOUD these pads were for normal street driving. We're talking so loud that everyone around you stares at you like there's something wrong with your car! I drove out to the Glen with these pads on the car, and I couldn't wait to get them off the car once I was done at the track, simply because of the noise that they generate. Incredibly squeaky, even from the slightest amount of braking, all the way to hard & abrupt stopping.I guess this is just how race pads are when they're not operating at high temperatures, but I would not recommend...

Hawk pads... What can I say? Great stuff

Much better for track use than the HPS pads.I have a 2010 Corvette Grand Sport.I went through a full set of HPS pads in a single track day at Lime Rock and the brake fade was terrible.I can get multiple track days out of a set of HP+ pads.The initial bite of the pads is excellent.I get very consistent and solid and firm braking with these pads.

I've used Hawks before...provide great braking power with minimal dust build up. Make sure you break them in properly and warm them up before any serious hard braking conditions.

These are fabulous pads for stopping! Unbelievable tenacious grip that never fades or hesitates in any environment wet/cold/hot... In the past alleged high performance pads would fail in one of those categories, mostly cold grip. Not these! Grip all day long with minimal pedal effort. Constant and linear grip as well, very easy to read pedal modulation.Now for the not so great part... Everything has a trade-off.1. If you change cars, beware the car you jump into will not stop at the same rate that you are used to! You must apply more brake pedal effort and allow more room with "normal" pads.2. Brake dust!!! Terrible.3. Accelerated rotor wear over ceramics. But not as bad as el cheapo semi-metalics.4. They squeal at low speed. No matter how light or hard you apply the brakes, they squeal. This is a documented issue with these, accept it or move on.5. Did I mention the brake dust?FWIW these were/are on a Cadillac...

The Ceramic pads were such an improvement on my 05 BMW 545i ...so much smoother now than the semi-metalic pads! Love the way the car feels!
