Hawk Performance HB352F.665 HPS Performance Street Brake Pads

The Hawk Performance HB352F.665 HPS Performance Street Brake Pads have garnered a mix of positive and critical feedback from users, particularly highlighting their performance attributes while also noting some drawbacks. Many customers appreciate the enhanced stopping power these pads provide compared to factory OEM options, especially in high-performance settings. Reviewers have reported that the pads require a bit of warming up to reach their optimal performance levels, which can be an adjustment for some drivers. Users installing the pads on a 2002 Subaru WRX noted a significant improvement in braking capability over other performance brands, although some found that the initial bite wasn't as aggressive as previous pads used. The inclusion of caliper grease with the pads has been seen as an added bonus, contributing to ease of installation. However, the brake pads do produce substantial brake dust, particularly noticeable on darker wheels, although customers generally found the dust easy to clean. On the downside, feedback regarding noise levels has been frequent. While some drivers are okay with the sound, others found it to be excessive for daily driving, suggesting these pads might be better suited for enthusiasts focused on track performance or autocross rather than regular daily driving. Additionally, the pads may not be the most ideal option for those seeking a quieter ride with minimal maintenance. In summary, while the Hawk Performance HB352F.665 HPS pads excel in performance and are well-liked by those demanding high levels of stopping power, potential buyers should weigh the noise and dust issues that come with them. **
