Hawk Performance Brake System

Does anybody have any experience with Hawk's front brake upgrade for the twins? Product shown here: http://e-autosports.com/hawk/hawk_pe...i-1756227.aspx I didn't have any idea that they made something like that.

Interesting, i wonder how it would compete with the Project Mu rotors and other such brands out there making rotors for the twins.

Probably a waste of money, IMO. Performance ceramic pads won't have the heat capacity of other better pads, and the stock rotors are fine unless you're building lots of heat.

You can get a full set of great pads for less than this costs, and you'll get better performance.
