What's the difference between the two?
Thanks.

I got the Hawk Street pads from 928 Specialists.
They were out of stock but I finally got them after a few weeks. They should have them now.
They do stop real well, and they are definitely lower dust. They do make some noise though - only at low-speed braking, despite installing the dampers. I'm hoping this will go away after I break them in a bit more.
One item to note - the Hawk pads do not have a hole for installing the brake pad wear sensor. But it only takes a minute to drill a hole into the pad for that.

Randy,
The ones I just installed in a customers S4 and the set waiting for a GTS all had the sensor holes.
Interesting!
