Hawk Brake pads for swift and swift sport

[whizpig]

Ok we keeping this simple ah talk to a local distributor of Hawk brake pads and they say they can get Hawk HPS pads (front) for the swift and swift sport (its the same thing, i do not know what else they will fit on). Thing is cause Hawk will consider it a custom order there is a minimum order quantity that i would prefer not to foot the entire cost myself.

So if you have a swift or swift sport, want good brake pads but don't want to pay dealership price, pm me and we can make a group purchase (I would like to make this purchase by months end).

only the front?

[whizpig]

at the time i only wanted the front, so that's all i asked for, but apparently there is interest in the back as well so i will inquire

[whizpig]

Yes Hawk makes a back pad for the suzuki swift HB145x.570, or at least that's what i was told, i encourage anyone interested to verify by checking out the Hawk brake pad catalogue

[*KRONIK*]

Any tentative price for the front pads?

you need to wash the brake dust of the rotors every couple days. i run them and they work fine! i wash my car very often so never have that problem

Looking forward to the Hawk stopping power!

Me tooo.... lol


spanglish..... there is a Can Spray to clean the rotors... rite???

[*KRONIK*]

At lsm they use the prestone brake and parts cleaner

Works really well... It removes all the caked on brake dust outside and inside caliper and cleans the rotors and shield behind the rotor too.

But if u using ohk u may have to clean urs every 3 weeks instead of 3months (if u using oem pads)

Try it... Give we a update

[timos976]

....... but i going hawk just now... so good bye ohk lol..... but while i wait i will try the prestone ab......and i will give u a update

[*KRONIK*]

U should actually try to make it part of your maintenance routine
Or thoroughly clean ur calipers and regrease before the installation of ur new hawk pads

I am eagerly awaiting my set too

[timos976]

I was actually thinking about tat.... I will have to read the manual and do some research......

[whizpig]

order placed, was told it would take about 10 working days to make the pads and about the same time for shipping, so we looking at 3-4weeks for delivery

[*KRONIK*]

Excellent.

Sweeeetttttt

Baleno vs Swift vs B14 pads

Baleno has similar dimensions, but the outermost "lip" is just a tiny bit smaller.
B14 looks like a close match to me...

[whizpig]

next stop is to get hands on some actual pads and put them on to verify that they fit

[Big Z]

Just made a spin to the parts place. B14 pad was almost the same. Only difference is the bottom, but the 3 mm extra at the bottom should be fine.
Pulled off the left front rim too.... I'm 99% certain that the B14 pad will work, but you may need to use the B14 shims as well.

[timos976]

it will not damage the rotors or caliper if we use the B14 brakes ?

[Big Z]

From the looks of it.. very unlikely.

[timos976]

lol so who volunteering ???

hawk pads make a tone of noise after heavy driving ........ project mu or EBC green ppl ...thats the only thing better than oem pads.
