washingtonOBXT Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I am in need of new pads and am making the switch to a better performing pad. I like the HPS and have only heard good things. BUT I DRIVE IN SUB FREEZING TEMPERATURES REGULARLY, WILL THESE PADS WORK AS WELL AS STOCK AT THOSE TEMPERATURES? I am also going to replace my rotors soon because one has a large grove and i want more stopping power. Can i replace pads and rotors at the same time or should i wear one in before the other? need help urgent because i want to buy these parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovlet Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I run Hawk HPS Pads and DBA 4000 Rotors all year round - No Issues at all with temperature. You'll want to install the Pads and Rotors at the same time and follow the proper "Bedding" Procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelbuilder_25 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Yes - upstate NY winters were never a problem with the HPS pads. (0 F with dips to -15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washingtonOBXT Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 so i have the pads and i noticed there is a long metal tab on one and on the same pad, there is a nipple near each part where the caliper/rotor would contact, which side is which and what does this long tab do?

V8Bait Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I also use HPS pads during the winter months, no problems. Read this and see if that answers your question. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/project-mu-front-brake-pad-installation-139141.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washingtonOBXT Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 i got it figured out, the previous owner had the pads on wrong, once i took off the right side rear inside, i found it had a tab, so my rear left had two outside pads, thats why my new pads looked wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
