I've had Hawk performance Ceramic pads on my GLI for 2+ years. No problems at all and they stop very well.
I've used Hawk HPS pads on every car I've owned (4) and i've never regretted it. Its a good upgrade from OEM without to much squealing.
I currently have Powerslot rotors with Hawk ceramics and I do like them, but they're not exactly inexpensive.
Thanks for the advise. I exchanged these for the right ones (HB190F600A). The new pads went right in with no fuss.
i have the front upgrade with hawk pads all the way around, and that is all you really need for greatly increased stopping power
If you can deal with the dust get the Ferodos. They stop like hell. If dust is a problem go with the Hawks.
My 2001.5 GLS V6 5-speed needs new rotors and pads. I purchased 4 Meyle rotors (fronts and rears) and Mintex pads.
Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on the front and rear. In the past 2-months I've run 2-track days (Buttonwillow and AutoClub Speedway Roval) and I'm really impressed with their fade-resistance after 6-7 hotlaps (17+ minutes) into a session.
mintex are good, but they are not all they are cracked up to be, try EBC greenstuff pads
Now as far as brakepads go, stay away from Mintex Redbox and go with PBR/Axxis Deluxe Plus or Metal Master pads. I had really bad experiences with Mintex pads, and I'm currently running Axxis Ultimate pads on my W8!
