Message	Hawk HPS pads + brand new Brembo slotted rotors < Stock rotors and Axxis Metal Matrix pads. This is my 3rd week on my new setup which was properly bedded in after install. There is considerably more brake fade than with my previous setup (stock rotors and metal matrix pads.) I dont recommend the HPS pads to anyone.
