My experience with the Hawk HPS brake pads

Much of what my race buddy said is also captured here.

I believe when it comes to drilled/slotted rotors there are the real McCoys out there (and have prices to go with them), but a helluva lot (most?) of them are wannabe pretenders out there too.

Caveat emptor: (Let the buyer beware...)

Part of the reason good "drilled" rotors cost is because the good ones are cast that way and then chamfered. That in comparison of taking rotors and then just drilling them.
