Default Hawk Performance Brake Pads

After 20,000 miles it's finally time to replace my front brake pads. The dealer is charging me $325 to do the job with the OEM parts. I'd like to purchase and install the hawk performance pads (less dust, etc), but the dealer is telling me that this will void my brake warranty. Is it worthwhile to have this done and if so do you know of a good shop is Southern CA that is reliable and will do this?

I used to have a set of Hawk HPS pads on my TL and loved them. Don't worry with what the dealer has to say regarding the warranty.... its a bunch of BS.

The last time I checked, Hawks aren't available for this car yet.

How about swapping your brake pads per the TSB? If you qualify, it's even free. Hey that rhymes...I'm a poet and didn't even know it.
