Rear Hawk HPS Pads
I just id a brake job on my '06 MCS using the HPS pads, and the fronts (at least) will accept the sensor. I just took them off a few minutes ago and snaped these pics:


Why did I take them off, you might be wondering... because they didn't provide enough friction to even kick in the ABS
...
...
WTF
...
I just put the OEM pads back on and everythings fine with them.
I don't understand it, I thought the HPS pads were suposed to be pretty good. Maybe I'll try the HP+ pads next... or better yet a Wilwood BBK.
When I went out yesterday to bed in the HPS pads I was shocked by the lack of friction. I went through the entire process and they still would't stop for crap. I went back home and checked everything over, but it all looked good. I even sprayed it down with brake cleaner this morning just to be sure there wasn't any grease in there, even though I was extra careful during assembly. After another test ride... still crap brakes. I need some new front pads pretty soon so I'm need to make a decision quick.

DOH! Just noticed this thread was titled "REAR Hawk HPS Pads".
