Hawk Performance HB194Z.570 Performance Ceramic Street Brake Pads

Best brakes hand down. I have 750 hp Camaro SS with drilled take disk. These pads lasted over two years and just replaced with new set rear and front. The brakes perform like expected, stop on a dime and low dust. Will never buy any other pads than these.

Great pads for the SS Camaro Brembo calipers. The bedding process was quick and easy just like the installation. I used the supplied grease and have had no squealing with very minimal brake dust. I have had them on for over 4 weeks now with no issues.

typically I don't take the time to do a review, but these pads are absolutely incredible, I have no clue what was on my CTS V when I got her I'm assuming the cheapest available because even stop from speeds exceeding 140 mph- 0 mph they are mine blowing. make sure you follow the break in instructions as I did and you will have no issues. I do get a tiny squeak here and there but I mean come on they are performance pads so I expected noise. I actually expected more then I can hear so I give them a 10/10

I've only put 300 miles on them so far, but brake dust is already less than the Brembo pads and noise is minimal

I occasionally take my daily driver to the track, and part of my prep is to replace these daily Hawk "Z" brake pads with an "R" set. The "Z" pads have smooth onset of initial bite. I use this set in my rear brake calipers for everyday use. With a full set of Hawk "Z" pads installed, the braking force uses the full range of the braking pedal. It is trivial to modulate the braking force over such a large range. The sensation is they seem just a little softer than the original pads they replaced, requiring slightly more braking pressure for the same amount of "stop". I have to nearly bury the brake pedal in the floor before ABS will kick in. These pads have proven themselves in panic stops. The "Z" pads are one of Hawk's most street-centric pads. They are quiet at any level of braking force. My wheels are chromed so they show dust very readily, and these pads produce significantly less dust than any of the others I have tried, including the OEM. I have not used these pads on a race track. Given the amount of brake pedal travel required, I wouldn't feel safe with them and would advise one of Hawk's more performance-oriented compounds. But I am very happy with them for everyday street use.

They fit but there’s no slot to stick the brake wear sensor so I was forced to zip tie it somewhere until I can find a new set of brakes that has it. The front brakes I ordered from them had the slot for the sensor but these do not, yet the picture they show, shows one being there and installed. 3 stars.

Replaced a set of EBC Yellow Stuff. Fitted to Brembo 4-piston calipers. Great fit, easy bedding in, minimum squeal using Brembo Be Quiet grease on back of pad. Happy over all.

These have no initial bite in the wet. The car glides along and then abruptly gets some bite. These are nearly unusable in the wet, on the street. Sorely disappointed, Work perfectly when it's dry.
