Hey guys, its getting time to do the brakes pretty soon (2014 brembo mustang) and I'm stuck between HPS or the new Hawk 5.0. Has anybody had any experience with both or even just the new 5.0 pads? I found reviews for the HPS but not so much the 5.0 street pads. Thanks again.

I have them on the stock non-brembo size brakes. Stock pads yielded .86 G force of stopping... pretty useless. The 5.0 pads after bedding them in put up a 1.19 G stock on a bumpy backroad... 125 ft from 60-0. Quite a massive improvement! They are noticably dustier, which was to be expected. Good upgrade, good enough that I can enjoy driving hard with the stock brakes.
