Could you report back on this thread after you have had a chance to test them out properly and let us know your thoughts on performance then?
That would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Braking performance seems to have improved with the new rotors and the Hawk pads. Though, since I changed them both at the same time, it's hard to say if the performance is attributable to one or the other (or both). From what I've read, braking performance is primarily a function of the pad compounds, the drilled/dimpled and slotted rotors serve different functions than strictly stopping distance.
One thing to note though, the Hawk pads do seem to dust a bit more than the stock Brembo pads I had previously. Noticeably dirtier front wheels during my last wash.
