Jinshim Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Morning guys! This has probably been done to death so I apologise now! Need to learn search function better!! Need to replace my discs and pads and getting close to pulling the trigger on a bundle, I can't decide between the Hawk HPS pads or DBA street pads for the bundle though. Car doesn't see the track but sees fast road use, tried googling for reviews on either but google seems to be ignoring the word 'pad' and just showing me reviews on dba discs!! Thanks all, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hi Nick, Hawk Ceramic pads would be my choice, minimal dust and crazy good bite from cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Hawks all day long. Had them on my Zed for years, fast road car, no track days. No fade, no shitty dust and they work!! Wouldn’t have anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willsy1980 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 +1 on the Hawks 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith D Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Sorry silly question, when you say Hawk ceramic, you mean the Hawk PC in the yellow box rather than the HPS or HPS 5.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 For clarity, 350z pads: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/pads/491-350z-hawk-performance-ceramic-pads-for-brembo-front.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/brakes/pads/492-350z-hawk-performance-ceramic-pads-for-brembo-rear.html 370z pads: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1096-370z-hawk-performance-ceramic-brake-pads-sport-akebono-calipers-front.html https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/370z/brakes/pads/1097-370z-hawk-performance-ceramic-brake-pads-sport-akebono-calipers-rear.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hawks are good. Theyre made in Australia I think hence the higher price. Had them on the Zed. Nissan should have used them from factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranTurismoEra Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 My bad...Its DBA that import them to Australia to sell. Theyre more into discs but do pads as well. I had mine supplied and fitted by Abbey Motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bounty Bar Kid Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I might have a look into those for Carla. On 09/09/2024 at 21:24, glrnet said: Hawks all day long.

Loadmaster Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Abbey fitted a set of Hawks to my Z last year. They bite well in daily use and also work on the Nurburgring, which is handy! It's never really occured to me, but having read comments about minimal dust, that's actually correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinshim Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 Just as a quick update to this - ended up with a completely different set 🤣. DBA T3 4000 slotted discs front + back DBA xtreme pads front +back Supplied by the guys Torqen. Did an aggresive bed in saturday night and they are night and day difference over the stock setup I had. Bite well from cold, haven't pushed them hard fully yet as also swapped roll bars so getting a feel for everything! +1 recommend though and thanks for all the input! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
