Hawk Performance Brake pads

Rating 4.0

I did install Hawk HP+ pads w/Centric high carbon blank rotors and flushed the system with Motul 600 brake fluid. That setup has worked well on my girlfriend's Cooper S while it did double duty on track weekends. So, it should work for this car.

Pros: worked well on track
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Hawk Performance Brake pads

For track and autocross on my Miata I use Hawk HP+ and ATE Type 200 brake fluid. Both work really well, though the pads are likely overly aggressive for a daily driver.

Pros: works well, good performance
Cons: aggressive for daily use

I've run the Akebono ceramics on a few cars. They don't have a great initial bite but they do have good stopping power in most conditions. My only note against them is that it can get scary with heavy braking while driving long distances on the highway in sub-40 degree rain - I've had multiple times in two different cars where there's a solid 2 second delay between pressing the pedal hard and them actually biting in those conditions.

Pros: good stopping power
Cons: no great initial bite

I would steer away from the Hawk HPS pads for track use. I used em just for a track day and they were starting to fade. Like someone else mentioned, the Hawk HP plus is better

Cons: starting to fade
