I wasn't getting any action on this post, so I split it from the 'brake thread' for a while...

I decided to put my new workbench together Sunday, instead of doing the pads. I installed the Hawks tonight. Just got back from 'bedding' them in. LoL! It's 'nice' and stinky in the garage now. The workbench smells like 'green' wood, and my CiViC smells like burnt paint. What a combo...

Anyway, these things are gonna be sweet - I can tell already. No fad whatsoever! They bite really nice, but not enough to screw up the front/rear bias. They seem very nicely matched to the drums in the rear. I give 'em two thumbs up so far...

Check out the crazy wear patterns on the old pads...

Down to the nub on one side, and probably 25% worn on the other...
