Brake pads Bendix or Hawk Performance

My Mk2 VR had the full Corrado G60 front and rears. I used Zimmermann stock replacement rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads. They did an excellent job.

i have hawk ceramic brake pads front and rear along with ss brake lines on my 2012 golf R. I got them from ecs tuning and they work great! nice improvement over stock.

I am on Hawk HPS and I absolutely love them, great bite. Buddies in there STI's were shocked at how fast my car stopped and how hard the brakes bit. Very low dusting, takes about 5X as long to see dust as the stock pads.

My R32 with new brakes is unreal, stops way better then my jetta, the car you drove must of had shot brakes, Mine will smash my face in to the steering wheel is im not careful that how hard I can stop. I got stock callipers with hawks HPS pads all round made the car so much better

Now i have Hawk HP+ pads, great stopping power, lots of dust, noisy in day to day use, loud when heated and when using mild braking force (bearable), predictable bite patter not to aggressive easy to modulate breaking Great on the track for a mildly tuned car on oem breaks set up, did not fade, after first heat cycle.

oh and i replaced my craptastic wagner thermoquiet pads with bendix pads much better feeling on the pad and the calipers dont seem to get so hot

I took your advise and ordered Hawk Ceramic pads, ECS SS lines (Goodrich doesn't make SS lines for a 2010 Jetta), and the SuperBlue fluid.

Have you tried upgrading your pads/brake lines/fluid? I put in Hawk HPS pads, SS lines, and ATE SuperBlue fluid, made a huge difference in my brakes. Firmer pedal feel, much better initial bite, and fade is substantially reduced.

Yeah, I went with all new pads and rotors on all 4 corners. Bendix OEM replacements in the front and Duramax in the rears (I know I know...but I am poor ) I know some pads are better than others but beyond a certain point pads are pads are pads right?

Last year I switched to HP+s and have been unimpressed. imo they are fairly vague. I've also found the dust from the HP+s to be very corrosive.
