Hawk 02-06 RSX Base / 07-13 Fit HPS Brake Pads: Front Reviews

Had 114k miles on the OEM brakes on the ep and the rotors were shot. So I ordered the hps brakes and paired them up with the pwjdm rotors and it was an amazing combo for the money. I can really feel the difference and there is virtually no brake dust now!!! Im so happy the brake dust is gone because i have white rims.

I bought these to replace my OEM ones. Followed the DIY instructions here and I got totally silent and perfect new pads. Make sure u apply the grease that comes with the pads or the pads will make some horrible sounds. Performance is the same as OEM. JUST PLAIN PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY DRIVERS !

so i got the pads in a few days of placing the order. after that i installed them the next day, first problem i notice was that my front pad didn't came with new shims like my rear ones. oh well i just use my old ones. after that i went for a test drive at first didn't notice much difference until the pads were warm then i notice that you do have to press much harder on them too feel the difference other then that their good pads.

These pads take about one stop to warm up. The initial bite isn't better than the stock pads. The difference is that as you push harder on the pedal, the brakes just bite more and more. Overall, you have to push harder than with the stock pads but these lop off the speed faster than before. I am more confident in my brakes now> I know that when I ask for more stopping power it will be there.

To start off Club RSX sent these out in a flash, got here within two days at a great price. The brakes themselves work better then I expected, after bedding in the pads I stepped on them hard, and they responded really well, and when braking at low speeds there is no noise. BEST DAILY BRAKE PADS!

After 46,000 miles on my 2006 RSX, I was facing a vacation trip and decided to replace the front brakes. This is my third RSX and I hoped for the same positive results I had realized when I replaced the OEM brakes on the other two cars. My driving combines highway and city mileage. I drive with some enthusiasm, but also with care. After speaking with the good folks at Club RSX, I settled on the Power Slot Rotors and the Hawk HPS Brake Pads. Customer service was top notch and the parts quickly arrived as promised. My mechanic put them on and I was ready to roll. After a little more than 2400 highway and city miles, I am convinced that I made an excellent decision. Hard stops at highway speeds, through wet and dry, I found the braking distance to be significantly shorter while maintaining a great sense of control. This meant that, unlike with the OEM brakes, wheel lockup wasn't nearly so much of an issue when things got really tight. I could decelerate as needed without any drama. While it's still early days, I do notice also that, after a rainy night, I no longer have a palpable roughness for the first few miles until the rust is scraped off. I was told by Club RSX that the Power Slots were good in this respect and they were, as with everything else, right on the money. The Hawks show no great propensity for dusting, while still providing very good stopping power. This is also appreciated. The new combination allows me to take full advantage of the stopping power of the AVID TRZ's I put on the car 6 months ago, when I had had enough of the greatly overrated Michelin Pilot's that came with the car. I can unhesitatingly recommend this combination for anyone looking for a reasonably priced, significant upgrade to the OEM set and strongly feel that Club RSX is the place to buy from.
