I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.

Pros: avoid squeaking

Cons: cheap stuff might squeak

After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.

Pros: less dust, oem feel

Vehicle: Toyota Supra

Once your stock brake pads are toast as well I’d upgrade them to something like Hawk’s HPS 5 pads.

Pros: upgrade brake pads

Vehicle: Volkswagen
