Hello, just thought I'd share my experience with HAWK brand pads.

I have installed them on my 2001 SC and on my 99 Durango. I had repeated fron brake issues (overheating, noise, dust etc...) on the Durango.

I do a lot of towing with both so I researched these pads and gave them a shot.

I just turned the rotors on both and slapped them in, bled the systems and followed the "seasoning" instructions on the box.

VERY IMPORTANT STEP!

They are a very low dust and low noice pad. Cost was about 68.00 for the SCREW and it's worth every penny.

I had tried the Ceramic pads by Raybestos on the Durango and they over heated too easy.

Give Hawk a try, you'll like em.

I think its Hawk that my friend uses, and they are very Dusty. Not sure if Hawk makes differnt pads or not, but his turn his wheels black in no time.

But I need new pads, and not sure wut to get. Might have to try the pads you used. Happen to have a part number or anything?

 

I got mine at tirerack.com

The guy on the phone new his stuff and I got them in 1 day.

I have the Hawk HPS on all four corners, no noise, low dust and improved braking, no problems in 15K miles. I got them at www.raceshopper.com which had the best price I could find at time I ordered.

 

I put put Hawk HPS pads on all corners, and new PowerSlots up front. They are a little noiser - but just when creeping at a very slow speed riding the brakes - they'll howl some.

However, they are WAY more dusty than the stock ceramics. If I had to do it again, I would probably go w/ either Hawk HD pads or EBCs - probably EBCs.
