Had the ceramic ones installed yesterday. Too early to judge because they need to be bedded or whatever the heck that process is called. Also added PowerSlot rotors and Steeda SS brake lines

Different car, but I had Hawk HPS pads on my Marauder and took them out in favor of Wilwood BP-10 pads (I have Wilwood 6 piston calipers on the car). The Hawk HPS pads were noisy to the point of being embarrassing. I don't mean just a squeak or squeal when coming to a stop. These things would turn every head for a hundred yards. Ughh. They were fine for the first 4,000 or 5,000 miles, but after that look out. I may have had a bad set or something, I dunno. They stopped nice, but no better than the pads I'm using now. Just thought I'd warn about possible noisy behavior.

Fourth Horseman thats good info since those are supposed to be quiet. I have a coleague at work with a Marauder, kinda nice because I know if he refers me to shop I know the work will get done right.

I had HP+ for the street and they were awful as far as squeaking. I now have HPS for the street and no complaints

Hawk is a popular brand name for the mustang line and other cars. They are more competive brake pads that are and upgrde from stock. Get SS lines and new pads and you just made your stock brake system much better IMO.
