Aggressive break pads, nice fit on the rear for 2012 Mazda 3 GS-SKY. I would go with something softer for the front. No squeaking with BOSCH - 34010902 rotors. As usually you get 20% overcharged on Amazon and the vehicle fit lies to you. More dust on the rims but who cares when you car stops in half the distance.

Easy to install, came with grease which was a nice touch. They are much cheaper than the OEM pads, might not have quite as much initial bite but they are working just fine for my normal street use.

I bought front and rear. Ive done a lot of brakes. I am one of the few who actually beds them. I lubed up guide rods, tips of pads where they slide. Even grinded the sides to prevent the screeching. After a couple weeks boy oh boy. The name saws it all. Im pretty sure i can make someone lose their hearing for a good 5 minutes. A lot more dust than oem. Oh also had to bend the part that goes into the piston. Took a while to make it fit AND also have enogh tension to hold it in place. Was a fine balance. Will nit be buying again. Wish i could get my money back and gice pedestrians 5 dollars for 5 minutes of their hearing loss.

Decent product, better price and less dust than stock, but they do squeal some at slow speeds

I originally purchased EBC Yellows for my Focus ST but when only 3/4 pads arrived I had to return them. They were out of stock, and I had racing events coming up so I had to search for new (in stock) options that could ship in two days.I ended up going with Hawk Performance pads because they had good ratings, and more importantly, shipped to me in two days. I have had success with the Hawks including three victories in my autocross class. They perform great in short stints like autocross, but also during longer sessions like time attack and track days. The only downside that they tend to squeal when they are cold.

WIth Hawk HPS pads all around on my 2012 Mazdaspeed3, these are great for the street and track. At track days at Willow Springs Raceway, they did not fade at all by the time my tires got too hot. Brake dust was a huge problem with my OEM pads, but my wheels haven't gotten dirty since I put on the Hawks. They're good for daily driving to work, too. It could be because I forgot to grease the back of these for the front wheels, but they squeal from time to time. I plan to buy again once I wear through this set, although they're not wearing too quickly.

After doing research, these are the same pads that Viva sells for the 04.5+ Volvo S40/V50.Compared to other options, these were the best deal with shipping. Easy to install and great quality pads. I've noticed less noise and less dust; I'll be sticking with Hawk Pads in the future.(for those of you who know me from the forums, username: MyNameIdeasWereTaken)

For lightweight, low power cars these are great! Reasonable dust and low noise, though noise level seems to vary by the car they're on (07 Focus - none, 06 RX8 - none, 11 Mazda3 - some squeal when cold). Good bite cold on the street, can still take heat from occasional track time. Wouldn't recommend for high power cars.
