I put these pads on my accord along with Brembo Sport Slotted rotors, Goodridge G-Stop lines, and ATE SuperBlue DOT4 Racing Fluid.. made a nice difference overall

Just know, these not yuh average run of the mill pads.. They need to be broken in to instructions, they WILL make noise for the first few stops every day, especially with the slotteds I have, and most of all, they begin to stop better once you get a little heat in the pads...

I paid $60 US on sale for my fronts, so I fraid to know what they asking for it in Trinidad...

Overall, the best pad I ever used.. Just know that it not really going to make that much of a difference unless you upgrading other brake components (20% extra max)

^^^ditto.
pricey but good. I run em on all 4 corners.

I've heard they're comparable to ebc green stuff but never ran those Neutral

for me it was a toss up between these and brembo sport pads..
Made a tonne of calls all over the states for advice and most put me in the direction of the hawk...

Best part about the hawk was, got a free bottle of Motul RCF600 brake fluid when I bought it (worth $20 US)..

The EBC greenstuff supposed to be excellent pads, everyone keep recommending them for the Capri but I haven't had to change pads yet..

Will be doing a brake upgrade soon, and follow up accordingly.
Items already in hand.

DBA rotors
HPS pads (F+R)
S/S Lines
ATE Superblue DOT4 fluid.

it may not be an accurate report with so many variables being changed, but say what...

What brand SS lines you went with? and did you source the ATE Superblue Locally? I had to import it and pay customs accordingly...
I love the fluid though, its excelent value for the price.. Not quite as good as the Motul RCF600 I have in the volvo, but it works nicely on the accord...

Too many people, particularly in Trinidad upgrade their brakes but then go and put cheapasss NP/lockheed dot3 brake fluid... Racing fluid is in a different league for boiling points and for less compressibility..

I have a friend with a Mazda MX-3 who used the Hawk HP+ pads, and I honestly prefer the HPS.. The HP+ bites harder but is extremely loud, eats up rotors, smells like death and costs more..
