Default Hawks Performance Brake Pads??

Hey CL GS F-SPORT owners do anyone of you have any experience or opinions on these brake pads? It's said to have great stopping power and light brake dust and long life. It seems like these are made for track or autocross..... Wondering how it would be for daily driving. I know alot of you in previous posts are using OEM or Akebono ceramics.

Thanks in advance!

We've sold some Hawks.

Any reason you want to go Hawsks over Centric?

We can get you either brand if you have the part # we can get you pricing!

I'm not sure which compounds hawk makes available for the GS but you won't want their HP+ compound or anything more aggressive. It's been many years but I used many a hawk pad on my s2000 that saw frequent track and autocross use.

They make a high performance 5.0. I just looked up aftermarket brake pads for Gs350 f-sport. They popped up with high stopping and low dust.... Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with them.

I'm looking at either HPS and HPS 5.0. The ones i need are 20$ cheaper so I'd like to know the difference too.
