Ferodo doesn't make pads for the stock front calipers. What's your beef w/ Hawks?

Default Hawk HPS all the way around and the Hawk Blues in the classifides for your 2 track days.

Again havn't had much time on the HPS's but they performed very well in the canyons this past weekend.

Default They destroyed my rotors and had way too much squeal. The ferodo 2500's i run now are far better...

pad IMO.

Ferodo's seem to be the best but again, they don't make them for the stock calipers as far as I know

Default Why? I have used HPS in the past and I didn't like em... that's why I don't want em for front....

I can also get Ferodo DS2500 but I think it would be stickier than front and hence would change the bias. I WISH they had Ferodos for front HP2

The reason I am not using EBC redstuff all around is that they don't have clips for rear pads and my shop said that in one case when they got too thin, they dropped from the calipers?!
