    I replaced my rotors / pads yesterday. Used Hawk HPS pads and did the H6 rear upgrade. I got the brackets at autozone for $25 each. Fit great. I did get Brembo front rotors as they handle most of the load.

    I used a Motive power bleeder and it made bleeding a snap! Flushed with ATE blue.

    I am happy with the H6 upgrade. Less nosedive for sure. Not so thrilled with the Hawk HPS. Was hoping for a bit more bite. Maybe they will improve. I did bed them per instructions. Overall very sastifying work!

    Great job man! If you want more bite the HP+ will deliver ...but are much much louder!

    That is a heck of a deal. I paid 80 front and 70 rear. Do they sell the HP+ too?

    Never was a fan of the HPS pads. I enjoy the HP+, but they can be noisy at slow speeds.

    i was happy with the EBC greenstuff. they were decent street pads. not sure on the prices on those. as i havent shopped for them recently. but its an alternative to consider. i think the redstuff are their hp+ comparables
