Quite happy with these but she does complain about a slight squeal that I can't hear. FYI Bedding is recommended by Hawk.
On my ZHP I'm running Mintex pads and solid rotors from Bavarian Autosport's. I've used these on both my 323I and ZHP and haven't had any issues. The ZHP has had several track days and Auto Cross days with out any fade ore rotor warpage issues.
Once the current Mintex pads were out on the ZHP, I'm going to go with Hawk HPS Street brake pads and the Brembo Replacement Rotor from Tire Rack to give me that little extra bite for my track days.
FYI; many of the guys that do week end driving schools swap out their pads, rotors and tires for the track, then switch back for daily driving.
