has anyone here used them hawk brake pads? they are alot higher than what i am used to paying for. i just put on a new set of oe pads in may and i am do for a new pair already. i want to see if they are worth the extra money

 

Why bother experimenting? Give Dodge brake guru Sam Peterson a call at 360-357-4958 M-F 8-5 Pacific.
Around $40 will get you two pairs of new pins and pads that are perfectly matched to the rotors in our trucks.
The right pad is a delicate balance, too hard and long wearing they will squeal and chew up your rotors. Too soft and they will make lots of dust and wear out fast. Sam's carbo-mets are the perfect match.

 

Infidel comes through again...

 

I'm all for safety but when it comes to ceramic brakes I think the only difference (other than if you are going down a steep mountain with 20k lbs behind you) is the wear it'll cause to your rotors. I like semi-metallics, I'd suggest going to autozone or such though and find a set that you get a liftetime warranty on so you buy this set and can feel free to replace your pads every 6 months for free from now on.

Are the Hawks the ones that TireRack sells, Red and Green? A friend of mine has one of them, they have insane brake dust but no cheating the conservation of mass... the pads aren't very old and are all worn out.

 

the hawk pads are the ones that genos garage sells

 

thanks infidel for the info
