ANybody using Hawk HPS pads?

Hi folks,

I currently need new discs due to a vibration that I'm getting when braking, which a top-up bed in procedure couldn't cure.

I'm looking at the ECS 2 piece discs and their rear drilled and grooved discs as well - and they do a package that includes Hawk HPS pads. However, I've read here before about certain pads "slopping about" in the calipers - has anybody had this happen with the Hawk HPS pads?

Just to clarify, I'm talking about the clunk that you can get if you brake in reverse, then drive forwards and brake - the pad moving up in the caliper and making a clunk sound. I just know that'd drive me mad, so want to be sure that the Hawk HPS pads don't suffer this before I place any order and get them shipped across the Atlantic.

Thanks in advance!

*Edit* Also, if anybody has any experience with the ECS discs I'd be happy to hear it, good or bad. Need as much info as possible before I commit to something that I'll be stuck with for a few years. Thanks again.
