Brake pads Bosch or Hawk Performance

When I bought my 17 PP the previous owner had Bosch pads installed that screeched nonstop, i avoided driving through parking lots because of how bad it sounded. I replaced them with Brembo pads and couldn’t be happier

Hawk makes the DTC series for the 718 base. Can't go wrong with the DTC-30 for a pad that you can drive back and forth to the track and will perform very well on track. The dust is nasty and corrosive though, so I'd recommend cleaning the wheels and changing the pads out for street duty.

I had Hawk HP+. They were extremely noisy and dusty, very strong bite though. I now have the standard Hawk HP pads, no noise and far less dust. Not as much initial bite, but still really great performance. I wouldn’t swap back to the HP+ after having both.

Have used these for a while now and will be getting them again to pair up with some DBA t3 rotors

I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.

Hawk (no, not that Hawk) pads work well, bedding in process is straightforward, and they only squeaked for a first few hundred miles or so when coming to a dead stop.

I autocross mine. With whatever pads the last guy used and old fluid, I could put the brake pedal to the floor without activating ABS. I swapped out pads for hawk hps 5.0 and put on new standard rotors and now I can stop almost instantly. I very highly recommend the hps 5.0.

i like the HAWK HPS 5.0 pads. they've been pretty good for daily driving.

I only daily as well but I did a slight upgrade due to some spirited runs each year. I did Hawk ceramics and DBA T2 rotors. Theyre enjoyably different but likely overkill.

I have Hawk HPS 5.0 street pads on mine, and hate them. They're ass until you get some heat in them.
