I thinking of getting a set of Hawk HPS Street brake pads for my Legacy, and was wondering if anyone has used them in their Subies, and how they liked them?

I have 'em. I need a brake bleed, but I can tell you they're quite good in the dry. I haven't done any emergency stopping in the wet yet, but I hear they're distinctly average in wet conditions. Honestly, the brake dust isn't that bad, I think they're better than whatever I had on it before (previous owner, so I have no idea what they were) for dusting. I would have actually bought the StopTech Street pads instead (the reviews showed them as more balanced), but TireRack was out and I had a frozen caliper, so I wasn't going to wait for a restock to get the rest of my parts.

I'm using centric high-carbon painted rotors in combinations with them, FWIW. I would definitely recommend them.

They have the stoptech in stock for my legacy so I will probably go with them, thanks for the input!
