Recently I decided to upgrade to a set of Hawk HPS brake pads, in favor for the old metalic pads I still had on the Dart, I had found on another car.
After the swap I did the proper brake pad break-in and cool down period.
During the next trip I didn’t notice much improvement still, but after a few days of driving I noticed the brakes getting better.
At moderate to firm braking, the car stops quicker now. At slow speeds and little pedalpressure, there isn’t much improvement noticable still.
I did notice these pads do get better as they slightly warm up. At early morning trips it takes a few stops before the brakes get really good again.
