I got those brake pads, they wear out a little faster than the oem's. They also make a little more noise and brake dust. On the plus side they really increase your braking ability. A big difference between the performance of these and oem's.

I'm on a second set of Hawk HPS and they are great. good bite, light dusting, and low noise. I'd def consider spending the extra for it.

^ Yeah i would definitely go with the Hawk HPS

ok thanks for the reply.... i just need to change the front brake pads only.... so if i want to go with brembo Performance Street brake can i just change the front pair with brembo and use the same stock Rotors? Can i change the Rear brakes later on or do i need to change all 4 at the same time?

also where can i find the prices for OEM brake pads?

I'm using Hawk HPS and locked all 4 brakes up frpom 60-30mph on the highway tonight. I'll take better pads that ware out faster.

I use the EBC green sport pads.
They are much better than the OEM, and have more dust.
But I still like EBC very much.


Yes, you can change the front pads only.
Still keep the original rotors and rear pads.

The mechanic told me that i only need to chang ethe front pair but How is the performance gonna look like if i only change the front pads? what are the pros and cons for changing front pads only?


where can i find the prices OEM brake pads? I can't find it at tirerack.com

The majority of the braking power comes from the front brakes, so I would say changing the fronts only will still show an improvement, but not as much as if you changed all 4.

Hawk HPS is cheaper than the Brembo on tirerack.com .... so Hawk HPS is better than brembo?

You cant change out the rear brake pads because there are drums brakes in the rear, unless its a v6. No you do not have to change the rotors and good choice with the brembos you'll be happy with them

what do you mean i can't change the rear brakes? what if they wear out?

the real question is Brembos or Hawk HPS?

[camry man68]

the rear brakes are drum brakes which dont require pads

HPS users, how much life are you getting out of your pads?

Shit....I think I'm over 30k miles now.
