Brake pads Bosch or Hawk Performance

I have the Hawk HPS and they're a little less initially bitey but seem to stop just as well when I put the brakes on, which is nice for a daily.

I've got the Bosch on my Ghost and completely agree. It's an amazing setup. I've got 8000km on mine and it rides like new whenever I change the pads and lube it. I look forward to my commute every day.

ATE OEM size Front (288x25) & Rear (232x9) Brake Discs Bosch Quietcast front & rear brake pads

I'm running bosch quietcast ones on mine. They were on rock auto for like $70 shipped for both front and rear. They are ceramic

Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?

There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.

My favorite autocross pad is Hawk HP+, but they dust like crazy and some sets are extremely squeaky for some reason. But they are mad consistent in all temps (except track where they fade at high speeds like any street pad) and the bite is absolutely fantastic and easy to modulate.

I've been using Hawk 5.0 They're marketed as a "high performance street" pad. I've done track days with them and theyve held up but they're "street" enough that they don't take forever to get warm. Maybe it's my lack of experience with other pads but they are kinda dusty.

I used up 40% of brand-new Hawk HPS pad in the front in 1 track day, so I only have 1 or 2 more track days left in them.

Complete ripoff. Subaru tried that years ago on my STI, I bought Hawk track pads and did it myself (as I would have done anyway). The dealer tried the ol' "These are high end calipers and the pads are much more difficult to change". I just said "Please stop lying to me, you're eroding trust between us" and left. Easiest brakes ever.
