hawk pads on clearance at Pep Boys

In case you hadn't heard, Pep Boys is discontinuing carrying Hawk Pads,

I just picked up a set for 16 bucks (only had one set left), this is a great deal.
Part number is HB103F.590

In store stock on hand kinda deal.

Are those ceramic pads for 16 bucks?

Autozone has been clearancing Performance Friction D52 spec pads for about a year now for $22.99. Whatever is left in stores is what they've got. LLT warranty replacement automatically defaults to the Gold level pads afterwards.

Got my 2 sets of Hawks!! Great deal!!

My local store is ordering 4 sets in from the Indiana warehouse at that price. They have 178 sets left. Thanks for the heads up Jon......

i ordered 2 sets today my astro takes the same pads as the caprice. i got the 2 sets for $30.02 out the door, well tomorrow out the door they ordered them

i got one set and ordered 5 more. The Atlanta warehouse has 160 sets left.
As of March 1 they don't show up online anymore, but have them look them up by make/model and they are order able.

are they ceramic? The Autozone DF52/ DFG52's are not.

Sorry, Google'd wrong number...

As per Amazon's site these are Ferro-Carbon pads.

there web site had them listed a couple days ago but not anymore. i gave them the part # at store they had them listed in their system

Just ordered four sets. There are still lots left in the Indiana warehouse.

Great deal, the EBC that replaced them are $115/set.

can you grab me a couple of sets big guy??

nick

you find a caddy yet?

Why are these better than the DLG52's from AutoZone?

My DLG52's are under a lifetime warranty, but if the Hawk pads are far superior, I can swap them out.

Say, will those pads fit in the 9C1 calipers?

Yes, the caliper piston will stick out a bit. Top up your fluid after install.

Not sure if they are better than DLG52s. They are 15 bucks. That might make them "better". They are also lifetime warranty, and they would be replaced with the EBC pad that is $115.

Nick, no problem. I'll order today. No nice caddys yet, but plenty of cars on 24"s! Saw a 70 442 convertible yesterday (likely a clone, but still very nice), jacked up at least two feet, rolling on huge chrome 24s (or 26s). I don't know what is wrong with people here... Sprocket may be able to tell us...

It's the drugs. Honest.

Thank you.

Does anyone have any real evidence that they are a superior pad?
or are we getting geeked over nothing?

We are geeked on the price. Simple as that. You can't buy the crappiest Chinese organic pad for this price.

Ive used these pads on our Civic and other wagons ( including my OCC that Sprocket has). You wont find anything better for this price...

Chris can you see if these are still available at Pep Boy at this low price,... because I do not have a pep boys near me. I wll reimburst you when I get there. 2 sets
