Default project Mu vs Hawk(Brake Pads)

I am debating between the 2 said names as far as front brake pads for my civic.
My gf has Hawk on her Integra and I love them just wondering how the project Mu compare?

Thanks for any help/opinions,Matt.

No need to overpay for Project Mu. If you still have stock brakes and calipers , you wont see much of a difference. There are also tons of compounds with the hawk pads for your level of driving

My opinion is do what you want - it's your money, time, and car... You didn't even say what you do with the car... Is it your daily driver, auto cross, circle track, drag strip, destruction derby, wheelie contest, mudder, show vehicle, ect., ect... vehicle???

great customer service and answer your brake questions on your application.
If you didn't want to go with hawk then I would sugguest looking into carbotech pads.

for most people hawk line of pads are more than enough.
for those more serious, CT pads are a great choice.

$141 plus shipping is a little more than I want to pay.
I can get the project Mu or Hawk for $65
