Brake pads Bosch or Hawk Performance

Also ordered Hawk HPS Brake Pads for all 4 corners as well as some needed new Rotors for the rear.

I have the Hawk Ceramic pads on one of my Porsche's and agree they are great pads, very good pedal feel, no squeal, and no dust.

I could not believe the improved braking performance after switching to Hawk ceramics on my GTI. Honestly it went from mediocre to great.

I bought Hawk HPS pads for my car directly from Hawk if I remember correctly.

I'm no brake expert but definitely don't go stock on the brake pads. I know HAWK is a big name on Performance Brake pads but I have never used them personally. It's just like anything else though, everyone's got their opinion on why brand \"X\" is the best when in reality they are all made in the same factory in China and you are really only paying for the name. I would look for something that says \"High Performance Street\" or similar that's designed to work properly with stock rotors / ABS / Etc.

You might just try a pad upgrade first. I've never been impressed with 16v brakes but I recently tried some Hawk HPS pads and now I can't believe how quickly this car stops. And I'm really picky about things especially brakes.

Hawk HPS pads -ECS Stainless brake lines.

Hawk HPS 5.0 HB544B.628 HB625B.760 Edwin Mangune from Hawk Performance Products Group recommends these for our Golf R.

The HPS were good for the street, dust wasn't bad, but I thought they weren't enough for me on the street, and definitely were not on the track (as I overheated them routinely).

I was at the track this weekend and basically, even with the hawk blues, the brakes just don't provide the clamping I need.
