Brake pads ATE or Hawk Performance

I think getting some nice aftermarket brake rotors and hawk pads would be good.

Regular carbon ceramic brake pads, from Ate and I presume also Brembo, are better than normal pads. Same stopping power but much less heat generation and brake dust.

My latest setup is below and works well for the handful of HPDE’s I’ll do each year. Fronts: Hawk DTC-60 pads

I'm running Hawk HPS pads with Raybestos Professional grade rotors. Got 5 years out of my first set, at 6 years now on the current set.

I have Hawk HPS pads and they work great on the street and produce way less dust than stock pads.

I ran the Hawk HP+, and had no complaints. Never did a whole lot of hard driving, but they held up in short bursts and were good for daily driving.

I put ATE200 + Ferodo DS2500 pads on my Mk7 in prep for its one (half) trackday, have been on for a few thousand street miles and work well at all temps.

I'm really liking the ATE pads I got for my 340i with the brembo F/Rs.

I was leaning toward trying Hawk HPS pad for the GSW, but I first put them on my Focus ST and while I'm satisfied with the performance, I'm disappointed in the noise level; I have a squeak that I cannot eliminate, even after taking them off, re-bedding, and meticulously applying brake grease in the right spots.

Not only do they do that, they're a terrible autocross pad. Dust is something that happens with pads that stop there are very few that stop and don't make dust. However there are different types of dust, stuff that sticks to everything and stuff that wipes off easily. But the problem with those pads in general isn't even the dust it's there very on off switch nature. They're very powerful and they're very grabby and they do not release well either which makes abs fight a lot more to do its job.
