Owner reviews for brake pads

Gyrodisc 2 piece rotors + Ferodo DS2500.

I personally run the StopTech 309's on just about all our cars, even my SO's Sentra. The price is good, usually about the price of OEM or NAPA replacements. There's a good initial bite, but it's not overbearing. And most of all the modulate well - which is what you want for autocross pads.

I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.

Last year I switched to the EBC Redstuffs. Overall braking power hasn't necessarily improved that much (according to the butt dyno), but appears to handle heat better as my brake pedal stays consistent through the entire day and doesn't begin to feel softer during the end of the day during my last couple runs.

I run EBC greens. Really nice bite, cold or hot, stock quiet, and a little less dusty than the yellows.

I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.

I use stoptech sports. Great pad apart form being a little dusty.

I was overheating mine and switched to Hawk HPS 5.0. I’ve only run them in the street so far but they fit that role fine.

I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again

Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
