Long wear life, but lots of dust, and they squeal while warm. Defninately more aggressive and better than the OEM. Decent, but it won''t keep me from trying other pads.

For every day use these are perfect for street and an absolute joy on the track. I have tracked the car with this brake setup a great deal and in turn never fails to slow the car down quickly. Compared to stock these rotors are awesome!

Goodridge''s quality is unmatched and the improve in brake feel and ability to modulate makes performance driving all the more fun. I have installed G-Stop kits on both of my cars one of which I autocross in and participate in track days and the stainless steel lines make a world of difference in the ability to modulate my track pads. I would recomend Goodridge to everyone.

The stopping power on these things are great, but the rotors warped after a year of owning them and I drive very light. They are also noisy. I would not waste my money on these things again. The warranty only covers structural damage to the rotors. I am very disappointed with my purchase...

HP+ pads are borderline for street. Noisy and dusty. On track at track days they are just what I needed. Used to have problems with pad deposits causing brake pulsation. No more of this since I installed Hawk HP+. I m on my second set for front.

I purchased the Akebono Ceramic Pads, ATE Slotted Rotors, and Goodridge G-Stop Brakelines as a package to improve my stopping power. Originally I was looking at upgrading to a big brake kit but the cost was a turnoff so I tried these products as an alternative. The results fell short of my expectations. The brakelines look and fit great but the improvement in pedal feel is almost unnoticeable unless you are really in tune with your vehicle. The ceramic pads have equal stopping power and are just as quiet as the stock AC Delco pads in my opinion however the dusting on the ceramics is a huge improvement which you will appreciate unless you like cleaning wheels. The shining star of this pkg. is definitely the ATE Slotted Rotors. The fit and finish is fantastic and brake fade has been reduced big time. Overall these parts complement each other very well and do offer a slight improvement to satisfy the average driver but for those looking for a serious upgrade to your stopping performance my suggestion is to save your money and get a Big Brake Kit.

I drive acura rl and they made the car perform much better over stock

The Goodridge SS lines installation was a breeze and the pedal really firmed up as expected.

DBA 4000 rotors dissipate heat well on street and autocross events and SS brake lines firmed up the pedal as expected.

Hawk HP Plus pads are excellent for track use and offer confidence-inspiring stops when driving very aggressively, especially when paired with a good set of rotors and stainless brake lines. They are fade-resistant, and provide better stopping power when warmed up. I bought them for their higher-temp operating range and resistance to glazing for when I drive my car on track days and have been very impressed - but driving them on the street is another matter. They generate a lot of noise and dust. If you like keeping your aftermarket rims clean, the dust these pads release will keep you busy. No shims are included and you will want to apply a good anti-squeal compound like CRC Disc Brake Quiet to the backing plates to make them tolerable. The friction compound is a little aggressive for casual street use. Firm and powerful stopping with progressive modulation during hard driving translates on the street to these pads grabbing harder as you slow down to a stop (as they heat up) without adding pressure to the brake pedal. If you drive aggressively all the time or drive a heavier vehicle that is more demanding of its brakes, buy em, you won''t be disappointed.
