 Hey guys I installed my new Power Slot rotors and Hawk HPS brake pads today. I haven't full broke everything in yet, but what I can feel so far is that this is a great upgrade. Especially if you don't want to go with a big brake kit. The stopping power is definately upped. I can't wait till everything is broke in and I can feel the full power of these.  Here's the install guide. https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...;o=&fpart=1Pictures. ![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/gal3/albums/album08/Dcp_6177.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://celicahobby.com/gal3/albums/album08/Dcp_6176.jpg)

i am thinking of getting Hawks for the rear...(i got the EBC for the front already) So far so good. I still need to get everything fully broken in. As for just replacing the pads, all you need to do is remove the bottom capiler bolt and rotate the caliper out of the way like in the picture below step 20. Them just replace the pads and reposition in the caplier. It's really simply to just do pads.

Thats great Rice, glad hear your liking them. Also awsome work on the install guide!!!! This is the next mod for my GT (you already know that), this is just making me bite at the bit more. I must say I'm glad it was you that beat me to it.

Nice install guide, definitely let us know how you like them after they're broken in. I know I need some more stopping power.

Well I finally broke them in driving to delaware and back and all I can say is They look great, no rust anymore from water and there is a noticable increase in stopping power. Nothing spectacular as we still only have one piston calipers, but there is a noticable difference. The Hawk Pads and performing excellent. Very low dust and no squeeking noises.
