Hawk Street 5.0 Brake Pads!

[avidmotion]

Update! Do they fit the 2013 pp sho? How are they compared to pp brakes? I have tried 4 or 5 brake pads. For the price vs performance the pp has been great. I love Hawks, my favorite brand, but not try on sho yet......

The Hawk 5.0 Brake pads do fit the 13+ PP-SHO.
To early to tell the longevity of the pads. Z

how do they feel vs the PP pads? I seem not able to get more then 15,000 from any pad so far.....but some are better then others for the whole 15....

I think the Hawk LTS would of gave me an overall greater thermal range vs the Hawk 5.0 .

They do feel great,but remember I due have Slotted Rotors so they are bit noisier on hard stops when compared to the stock setup. Z

Looking for a little better initial braking power, so far the PP best for price, the EDC yellowstuff was good but pricey and lasted 13,000 miles for me, redstuff 10,000, 15,000+ for the PP, Powerstop ceramic 14,000 miles......Not had Hawk on this car but ran them on nearly every car I had with good results. I like the HPS and the 5.0 but I think because the SHO is so heavy I chew up brakes, so maybe the LTS may be a better fit.....

If you can zoom inside Perimeter of the Rotor you will notice a very thin layer of the inner Groove is left unscathed and think the LTS would of swept the entire Rotor due to the size aspect as mentioned earlier!

Best of luck on your quest and I'm quite certain they will excel longer.  Z

Interesting, I have found the point of no return on my brake set up.  Not worried about miles, but what did you like better?  Yellow Stuff or Red Stuff?  I want initial hard bite, and good fade resistance.  They will be abused. I know upgraded calipers ect will go on the car later, but I need a band aid right now.  Coming down from mid triple digits has completely made my Z23 pads merely suggest the car to stop reasonably.
