Considering skimping on your next set of replacement pads? The money you save now could compound into a crazy repair bill if your front bumper ends up kissing the rear of the sedan that stopped short to avoid squishing a squirrel. But, a high price for new brake pads and brake rotors doesn't necessarily mean better stopping power.
One trip to the dealership for a brake job will prove that point in an expensive instant although you can score an electrifying set of performance stoppers at a price that won't leave you in the poor house by going with Hawk or EBC. Both manufacturers craft brakes that'll stop you on a dime, yet their prices leave plenty of change in your pocket. So, now you have to ask yourself one question: which should you get. In this age-old debate, we can't really give you a definitive answer. We can, however, present the facts and let you decide.
European-engineered EBC brakes don’t play by the old brake rules. Instead, EBC has looked for every possible opportunity to reinvent the way people come to a commanding halt. Unlike some brake-builders who only craft pads or rotors, EBC makes it all. So, when you pair a set of EBC brake pads with EBC brake rotors, you know that the two will play well together.
Don't worry just yet because that doesn’t mean you need to upgrade with both EBC rotors and pads at the same time. These performance brakes are custom sized to directly replace your failing or flimsy OEM pads and discs—no cutting, no welding and no blow-torches needed here.
One thing to keep in mind when scouting out the perfect set of EBC brakes for your ride is that they come in a range of strengths to handle everything from everyday commutes to heart-pounding track runs. And, the last thing you want to do is put race-ready pads onto a daily driver. Here's a quick breakdown of EBC’s lineup.
Like a bird of prey swooping down to snatch up a rabbit by the scruff of its neck, Hawk brakes screamed onto the scene generations ago and have continued to hold onto the title of fiercest brake components builder ever. Like EBC, they craft a wide range of pads for all kinds of driving situations. Hawk also makes ceramic brake pads, which are far quieter and produce a gray-colored dust that doesn’t make your rims look grimy. More about Hawk's lineup:
You can sift through a Hawk LTS Brake pads review or two, then read an EBC brake rotor review, and you'll quickly learn that both brake companies have happy customers. Which, then, is the right one for you? If you add either type, you'll surely notice an immediate improvement over the pads already on your ride. And, isn’t that what's really important?

The pads are great. | actually placed them on my front wheels and left the Axiss Ultimates on my rears, just to see which one had lower dust. No comparison. The Axiss, as great as they are, are terrible with brake dust. | would drive for 15 minutes and my rims would be covered. | can go well over a week with the Hawk pads and my wheels stay clean. Stopping power is great as well. | will be replacing my rear ones shortly.
