davedutch Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, Adrian at Torquen has hawk ceramic pads listed for road car, I am thinking of fitting these to oem discs on my 370, anyone any experience of these for road use ? I like the idea of reduced / no dust but I'm concerned under normal driving there might not be enough feel through the pedal, not too concerned about a bit of squeal when cold ( but not too much noise ) Any thought / advice appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLandy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Got them on my 50 and they're fantastic. They're certainly not dust free but there is less than usual pads. Plenty of feel and I'm yet to get any squealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've got them with OEM discs on the front of my 350Z and have found them really good. They don't squeal, work from cold, have good pedal feel and have not let me down during spirited driving on the road either. I had Ferodo DS2500 previously which were also excellent but with more dust and would squeal when reversing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadtrip Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 What's the typical improvements over normal pads? I can't really comment on that as mine were past the point when they should have been replaced when I bought the car. I only really drove the car with the DS2500 which I found to be a great pad. I've not found the the Hawk PC to be in any way inferior to the DS2500 for fast road use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to order front and rears now, also got new goodridge brake lines from a group buy to go on so will see how it feels all done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synolimit Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 What's the typical improvements over normal pads? Zero. Ceramic pads have ZERO performance over a semi metallic pad. Don't race on them, don't sprint drive on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't race on them, don't sprint drive on them. Well, not exactly Zero. They have less brake dust, they're quieter and have a longer life span... probably not what I'd call relevant improvements for a sports car mind.
