I personally have HAWK HPS semi metallic pads and I love em. They dont make any noise..... I live in a cold climate and I've heard about the "no brakes in cold water when cold" or whatever, never experienced this.

The only thing that differs from OEM imo is :

1- they bite more when hot. They brake the same when cold. The first 2-3 stops reqire more brake presure, after that they brake really well.

2- a bit more dust

I think next time I'll go ceramic just for the dust and the fact that there is not much of a braking improvement to justify that annoying dust. Of course I dont race. Just some hard braking, and they do fine with that though.
