I'm looking at new brakes for my car and I'm interested in the following setup:
Front: Hawk HPS pads with Brembo blank rotors
Rear: EBC Greenstuff pads with EBC rotors
I know it's a bit weird mixing Hawk and EBC, but I can't find Hawk pads for the rear or EBC pads for the front on the parts sites I checked out (or Ebay for that matter). Although I just found out that the Greenstuff rear pads for the 08 TSX are the same for the 08 coupe, so would TSX front pads work in my car as well?
The Hawk pads I'm interested in come in two flavors:
HAWK PERFORMANCE HPS SERIES BRAKE PAD SET -- 0.681 in. thickness - $101
HAWK PERFORMANCE HPS SERIES BRAKE PAD SET -- 0.665 in. thickness - $64
Does the extra 16 mils in pad thickness justify $37 in cost?
