Brake Pads Hawk HPS or Axxis Ultimate

[Tomato]

Just currious, got a BAER brake setup on my car now and debating going with HAWK HPS pads or Axxis Ultiamte. Anyone with experience can you let me know about these pads. I have heard good things about the Axxis but I am a little concerned as they seem to be pretty harsh on rotors??????

Thanks

Have you found that they chew up your rotors at all??? and how bad are they in the noise category. Im not too worried about noise but at 400$ per rotor I cant' afford to be eating through them left and right.

Haven't noticed any rotor problems. I'm pulling the wheels soon hopefully (stud kit), I'll have a look at the rotors.

A little noise until they were broken in, but none since.

FYI, I have been running the Hawk HPS on the street, for autocross and on the track. They take a beating, little if any fade and last a while. I am using a set of HPS all around on Frozen/slotted rotors on the front of the car and on stock rotors in the rear.

There has been little if any rotor wear in the 5K I have these pads.

Repeated 140 to 65 slowdowns to make the apex at Pocono couldn't even get them to squeak. The rear pads at that time were stock, and they cracked in half that day.

I have had no issues with the HPS at all. The HP pad (the next one up) is a squealing mess on the street but grab like crazy when pushed.

For every day I would strongly reccomend the Hawk HPS.

JMHO,

Matt
