Thought this was a great deal. Turns out it was for brake pads for only one side of the car.

Used the Hawk Performance HPS pads front and rear with the Hawk Talon Rotors. Live In Wyoming with steep mountain passes. Amazing brake performance , smooth fast stops, and no overheating on the steep mountain passes. Will definitely buy the whole Hawk setup again.

These are great pads in terms of spirited street and light track lapping performance, but the trade off is they do generate quite a bit of dust, which is a pain with white or bright colored wheels. There is also no clip hardware included in these sadly, so you may want to buy separately or spend the time reconditioning our existing ones.

These pads work great on my civic. They don't generate much dust and have never made a noise. I have only replaced them 3 times in 160,000 miles.

Bon pads pour véhicule rue/course. Crie lorsque utilisé régulièrement dans la rue et supporte bien les hautes température mais pour circuit très rapide « fade » après plusieurs tours de piste.

Good brakes for the money, very good performance. Only downside is they make a lot of brake dust at first.

I've used these pads on performance cars for many years, and installed these on an old accord. I highly recommend as an upgrade over OE for any car, sport, or just family car. Arrived quick and proper fit, can't ask for better.

After owning and using these for several months now, I've concluded that these are great brake pads. Honestly I would like to give a 4.5 rating as opposed to a 4, but it's just not quite a 5 so I have to give it a 4.The performance is excellent, I'd say it's better than the OEM pads.However, with these pads you are going to get a lot of brake dust on your wheels. I have these installed on my daily driver (Civic EX '11) and I have very brown/orange-y tinted wheels over time due to the brake dust. This isn't a problem with OEM pads, so it is a minor tradeoff - that I had to dock off 0.5 from my rating.

I use these on a 96 civic hatch with 99-00 civic SI front and rear brakes. The are very tough to fade, last pretty well, are not noisy if installed correctly, do not eat disks, and make lots of red sticky dust. When it gets cold here in Portland Oregon (nov-feb) the first stop in the morning or off of the freeway will have extended stopping distances as they need some heat to work. So don't put them on your daughters car. They are an enthusiasts part.

I bought these for my 2006 Honda Civic coupe ex. Since Feb 2012, these are the third brake pads I have gone through (Its Oct 2012 now). First were OEM pads, which were just horrible. Then I upgraded the front and rears to Akebono which were an obvious difference. Akebonos stop the car much quicker than OEM especially in rain. Then this month I upgraded to these babies. For my use these pads are absolutely better in every singe performance way compared to Akebono, but there are a few things you may want to be wary of before you purchase these.First of all, there is WAY more brake dust. I gave up trying to clean my wheels there is so much. Maybe I will give it another try next week.Now, the stopping power is far greater, but they are not as smooth to use. This isn't just breaking in use either. I have driven a good 5000 miles on these brakes already at least. It's almost like they give you a hard time when you ask them to stop gently. It can be ridiculous, and uncomfortable to passengers. This was not the same when I had my previous brake pads.So...Pros-1. Solid performance2. Quicker stopping3. Bang for buck4. No noiseCons-1. Brake dust2. SmoothnessAs much as I love these brakes, there is some give and take, but they still deserve 5 stars for the simple fact that they do what they are told, and they stop you for a good price.

I put these on my 2005 Honda Civic Coupe. Stopping distance was about the same, these will absolutely stop your tires- the only real problem I had is if I brake hard at high speeds my tire will skid, but that just goes to show how great of braking the pads are. They have definitely lasted longer and still appear to be going strong, I took it in and the mechanic said they look practically new, although I installed them 8 months ago.My biggest annoyance with these brakes is the screeching sound every time I brake, I've had it ever since they were installed. It basically sounds like 1,000 finger nails scraping across a chalkboard, however it doesn't affect braking distance or anything else. I still get some decent brake dust but not nearly as much as my other pads. However I still prefer the OEM pads to these because of the noise.

I installed these in my 2003 Civic Si. Their performance is excellent, no fade and noticeably smoother and better brake performance over OEM brakes I had installed. I've had them installed for about two months now with virtually no dust accumulation. The slight noise I hear I believe is due to the EBC slotted/dimpled rotors I replaced the OEM rotors with. These pads are light years better than OEM or any Raybestos OE replacement.Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, Amazon's price/prime shipping. I highly recommend them and would most definitely purchase again.
