Hawk HPS brake pads

Anyone have them installed? Whats your opinion?

I am looking for a low dust pad for street use, preferably better performance than OE but not for the track.

How about Mintex?

Hawk HPS won't be better in performance or dust than stock. It's a little lower in performance and dusts about the same but cheaper than OEM. If you street mostly, OEM is best.

Thanx for your feedback.

Is it based upon past experience?

yes i had them on the fronts with oem rear pads. the mintex performed just as well as oem. the fronts remained relatively dust free whereas the rears were dark with a thick coat of dust.
