Rating 4.5

I've been using Brembo pads for more than 300km after bedding. The package is super tidy. It came with an installation manual. The pad looks beautifully made. The materials feel nice. The Brembo is way more smoother than the OEM (Textar). Textar is more harsh, especially in traffic. I swapped the pads with Brembo and the problem of stopping smoothly went away instantly. It creates way less dust than Textar.

Pros: smooth braking, less dust
Cons: more expensive, red backside
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 300 km

Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.

Pros: great value, incredible braking
Cons: needs more heat initially

I have a set of track pads for my 2015 STI. Hawk dtc70 in the front. Hawk dtc60 in the rear. I swap them the the day before its a pretty quick job with the brembos. Very loud on the street when cold though.

Pros: quick swap, good track performance
Cons: loud when cold
Vehicle: Subaru

I'm in the UK and just got a good deal on Brembo disks and pads which I think are pretty good. Definitely avoid own brand stuff from parts stores. The Honda disks and pads are really good but a lot more than the Brembos cost. I also got a remanufactured genuine Nissin caliper which was remanufactured by Bendix for less than 1/3 cost of a new one.

Pros: good deal, pretty good

Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.

Pros: good for street/autox
Cons: lots of dust, underpowered

Hawk Performance Brake pads

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.

Pros: easy installation, cost savings
Cons: dealer dishonesty, high price
