They are definitely worth the money and they are quiet. I drive my car more on the track than I do on the street and I run Hawk HPs on 180sx brakes. ---

Like I said, I’ve tracked my car 5 times this year (lapping days) and the pads are still fine. HPS is what you want for the street. Hp+ is what you want for the track. Hp+ pads are noisy too. ---

I had the EBC Greens on my S14 and i loved them, low dust, no squeeks, lasted for about 50,000kms till i told my car. Highly recommend them! edit\* a daily drove my car as well as tracking it multiple time… The EBC’s had no trouble with a drift day ---

I have Hawk HP+ and they are not noisy at all, only if they are extremly hot, and I have not used anti squeel on the pads either. They are dusty though. ---
