Hawk HPS pads and Cryo stop rotors
 
so me and trustdestruction is planning on using the setup of Hawk HPS street with Cryo-stop rotors. is this setup any good? also debating on whether to get the Hawk HPS street or Hawk performance ceramic. which should i go with?

what other rotors and pads setup do you guys recommend. mainly looking for minimal brake dust, no brake noise, and good stopping power.

anyone have heard or had experience with the hawk premium ceramic pads? or should i go with hawks hps street brake pads?

First off what is the intended use for the car ie: daily driver, auto-x/track days? If it's just a DD then i would go with Brembo blanks and Hawk HPS pads.

go with any cheap rotor, no point in paying extra money for a simple piece of iron. if you properly break in the pads, the rotor isn't really even a factor anymore...

for pads, what he said ^, what's the purpose, it's it's just for daily street, hawk is fine

He was looking into the ceramics because they create less brake dust than the HPS... a little less stopping power though.

And from what I understand a big reason he was looking at these rotors is because of the anti-rust coating on them and their low price.

The Hawk HPS pads are pretty good street pads although they do produce a fair amount of brake dust which you might not like. I guess the question for you would be, do you want better braking and some wheel cleaning once a week? Or give up some braking performance for less cleaning?

As for the rotors, I don't see the point in cryo rotors. So they don't rust after so many years? Big woop, generic set of rotors(which are perfectly fine) cost ~$30each and last quite a long time without a whole lot of rust on them. Generic rotors do just fine unless you're building a serious show stopping car that needs to be spotless.
