Just wanted to give you guys a heads up on Hawk products especially the HPS pads. Hawk will be discontinuing the HPS pad lineup and eventually move on with their new HPS 5.0 brake pads instead. I don't know when exactly they will be doing this but probably withing the next year or so. As a vendor I wanted to let you all know this!

You guys have first hand impressions of both pads on this platform by chance? I've had good luck with the HPS pads in the past on other cars...looking forward to trying the 5.0 version when my OEM pads are ready for a change though.

Unfortunately, we have not had any personal experience just yet with the HPS 5.0 pads. However, I do know from a friend that you don't need to heat up the HPS 5.0 pads as much as you would with the regular HPS pads if that makes sense. I'll do an update if we ever have a chance to test them out.

Just threw some 5.0 on a locals car today. I have HPS on my car. I don't imagine a noticeable difference but they are supposedly an improved HPS nonetheless.

Sounds about right...thanks!
