Hawk Performance HB194Z.570 Performance Ceramic Street Brake Pads

I occasionally take my daily driver to the track, and part of my prep is to replace these daily Hawk "Z" brake pads with an "R" set. The "Z" pads have smooth onset of initial bite. I use this set in my rear brake calipers for everyday use. With a full set of Hawk "Z" pads installed, the braking force uses the full range of the braking pedal. It is trivial to modulate the braking force over such a large range. The sensation is they seem just a little softer than the original pads they replaced, requiring slightly more braking pressure for the same amount of "stop". I have to nearly bury the brake pedal in the floor before ABS will kick in. These pads have proven themselves in panic stops. The "Z" pads are one of Hawk's most street-centric pads. They are quiet at any level of braking force. My wheels are chromed so they show dust very readily, and these pads produce significantly less dust than any of the others I have tried, including the OEM. I have not used these pads on a race track. Given the amount of brake pedal travel required, I wouldn't feel safe with them and would advise one of Hawk's more performance-oriented compounds. But I am very happy with them for everyday street use.

Great pads for the SS Camaro Brembo calipers. The bedding process was quick and easy just like the installation. I used the supplied grease and have had no squealing with very minimal brake dust. I have had them on for over 4 weeks now with no issues.

Good brake replacement for my 2015 Hellcat Charger. Brake dust issues have disappeared so I am really pleased with these! Worth it!!!!

I replaced my semi metallic pads with these because I was tired of cleaning my wheels every 100 miles. The product performs as advertised. Great stopping power, very low dust and no noise. Since installing these pads, the wheels stay cleaner longer. The dust is not dark thus doesn't show as much as semi metallic pads and the pads themselves don't create as much dust.

They fit but there’s no slot to stick the brake wear sensor so I was forced to zip tie it somewhere until I can find a new set of brakes that has it. The front brakes I ordered from them had the slot for the sensor but these do not, yet the picture they show, shows one being there and installed. 3 stars.

These have no initial bite in the wet. The car glides along and then abruptly gets some bite. These are nearly unusable in the wet, on the street. Sorely disappointed, Work perfectly when it's dry.

Installed on my 2013 ZL1 Camaro. Gave up a little braking power, but I do not run my car on the track. Dust is almost zero!! No noise or other issues noted in 200 miles of driving.

Definitely noticed a better bite on the rotor. No squeal, and NO BRAKE DUST!!! Very easy to install on the Camaro. Changed all 4 sets of pads on 3 cars in little more than 2 hours.

Excellent product delivered quickly

This product does not properly fit the WK2 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT vehicles. The rear pad is slightly longer then the disk, once you drive on it for a couple weeks it wears a groove into the pad and starts squealing extermely loud at slow speeds. If you have Brembo brakes on any of the SRT vehicles you will have this problem.
