Brake pads ATE or Hawk Performance

ATE Brake pads

I put ATE performance discs & ceramic pads on my e39. The discs won't make a difference but it's nice to pair up brands. Ceramic pads make a huge difference to the amount of dust though.

Pros: huge difference to dust
Vehicle: BMW

Blank rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. I’ve been running them for almost a decade, and I’m always surprised at how long they last and how little dust they make for how aggressive as they are.

Pros: long lasting, low dust

I haven't investigated ceramic pads for the Golf R but based on the Hawk Ceramic Compound Performance Pads I have on my A4, which has huge RS4 front calipers and B7 S4 rears, I'd try them as they are quiet, generate negligible dust and are easy on the rotors.

Pros: quiet, negligible dust
Cons: none
Vehicle: Audi A4

Cele mai bune placute aftermarket sunt ATE normale, ATE ceramic nu franeaza la fel de bine, dar tin mai multi km.

Pros: tin mai multi km
Cons: nu franeaza la fel de bine

Am avut textar, trw, trw ceramic, ate normal și ate ceramic. Dintre toate am fost cel mai mulțumit de ate ceramic. Praf aproape inexistent, frânare bună, preț decent

Pros: frânare bună, preț decent
Cons: praf aproape inexistent

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.

Pros: leaps and bounds better
Cons: boiled DOT3 fluid
Vehicle: Honda

Hawk Performance Brake pads

You could look at Hawk Enduro pads and see if they last longer but you'll probably net less braking power so you'll need to recalibrate your markers a bit. 3100lbs and 300hp - dtc60s last me 8-11 track days (though one of my local tracks is easy on brakes) based on my experience last year running in advanced groups - including multiple open sessions with 30-50m long runs.

Pros: long lasting
Cons: less braking power
