I have Hawk HPS on my S. Stopping is good, but initial bite is not as good as OEM, IMHO.
I didn't like the feel of HPS.

No squeaky, dusty pads on the street beating the crap out of my rotors, no faded pads set on fire at the track. I've set a few OEM pads on fire. It's awesome to see after you finally stop....but it sucks when you're in a panic because you can't stop.

I have found EBC greens to dust much worse, and was not overly pleased with their performance.

The ebc pads are worse, the Ax6's are worse.

Pretty much what everyone has said here, but the EBCs that I currently have on my DA9 are great on stopping, but excessively dusty. Plus the dust isn't black, it has an orange hue to it, so my wheels, tires, everything is now slightly orange. Its also a PAIN to get it off if you let it sit for more than a week! So keep that in mind!

I was very happy with the Hawk HP pads on my old AP1. Almost no dust and they seemed very similiar to the OEM pads. This was all on the street, no track time.
