Group buy!
It’s official! Hawk Performance has officially released part #’s and pricing for 3 different compounds of brake pads for the Lexus IS-F front brakes. Those 3 compounds are the HPS, HP Plus and the Performance Ceramic. I had taken it upon myself to contact Hawk Performance and speak with them about producing their pads for our cars in December of 2008. I had sent them factory Lexus IS-F pads so that they could be measured and evaluated in hopes of producing high performance brake pads for the IS-F.
I am organizing this group buy in order for you all to take advantage of this newly released offering and save a few bucks at the same time. Please take advantage of this group buy by sending me an e-mail or PM for pricing. I will respond as quickly as possible. If we can accumulate 20 front pad set orders I can honor this GB pricing. I can keep everyone updated of Qty’s ordered on this thread. I will accept orders through e-mail or phone call through Tuesday May 12, 2009 @ 2pm EST. Once all orders have been received, the pad sets will ship in 10-14 days to you.
For everyone that had shown interest prior to this posting I have Private Messaged you pricing.

Let’s get the ball rollin’!! :D

30 inquiries so far. 1 HPS, 1 HP Plus and 7 Performance ceramic ordered.

It's Saturday and I am available today to take phone calls and e-mails! 3 ordered today !

We have about 24 hours left before this GB will end. Please understand, even if you don't need front brake pads now, you will eventually! Take advantage of this special pricing and put them on the shelf until you need them. Let's help out the other LexusF.com members who have ordered already. We are about half way to where we need to be. Remember these wouldn't have even been a reality without this forum. If you send me an inquiry for pricing I will get back to you as soon as possible!
Thanks,
Doug

Here's the official ordered amount of IS-F Hawk pad sets:
Performance Ceramic: 8 sets
HPS: 1 set
HP Plus: 1 set
That put's us a 10 sets, which is halfway to where we needed to be. I will order the remaining sets needed and stock them here at GB pricing until those are gone to ensure that everyone who bought on this GB get's their pricing. :)

Doug

Update: As of today these are the sets ordered:
Performance Ceramic: 11
HPS: 2
HP Plus: 1

There a still a couple of sets at Group Buy pricing available. If you would like to order a set of front Hawk pads for your IS-F please contact me by e-mail or Private Message. I will be unable to respond to orders until Tuesday due to Memorial Day. However, orders will be taken on first come via time stamp/date on incoming e-mails/Private messages. Thanks for your participation!
