Do you really NEED super duties?
Having too much brake is nearly as bad as not enough. If the pad never comes up to temp in an empty ot lightly loaded truck it will stop like crap. but same pad on the truck pulling 10K pounds yea it'll stop it really well.
I put the LTS pads on my truck -- so far so good. DEFINITELY break them in!! I *thought* I had until I had to make a short stop. Almost didn't make it!
We're going to have to talk Clay into carrying these. I know he carries the SSBC line, but I think these are more my speed.
That would be nice!
I have the Hawk pads on my Excursion and my Lightning. And when it comes time to do my 250, I'll be using Hawk's there too, along with a set of Cryo'd Powerslots.
Not to souns stupid, but what is the correct way to break in Hawk pads? I'm getting some LTS ones for my F350 PSD on Weds and want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks for the link guys. Just ordered the set. I'm a big fan of Hawk pads, and have used quite a few sets on my track car.

Q: Why should I follow a break-in procedure on new brake pads?
A: Correct brake pad break-in (bedding) is important to assure quality braking performance over the life of the pad. This procedure allows the rubbing surface of the brake pad to be brought to temperatures, creating a transfer-film layer of friction material to be applied to the rotor surface. This allows the brake pad material to rub against itself rather than the bare rotor. This increases the stopping performance of the brake pad and can reduce pad and rotor wear
