Rating 4.5

Brakes were great, no fade issues(Hawk Ceramic 5.0 pads up front, stockers in the rear) running Motul RBF. Mixed conditions so I had a little of everything, rain, drying, damp. NO bias problems at all, no issues w/the ABS doing funky things. The car didn't want to throw itself off track or anything like that, even in the rain. Just very progressive feel. They put up with me having to trailbrake the crap out of this car so I figure they did ok.

Pros: Great performance, No fade issues, Very progressive feel
Part number: CERAMIC 5.0

Love the pads, don't like the squealing at times, but for a high torque pad it's really good. They have the same feeling at Hawk DTC's which I use on track, but have that strong bite at a MUCH lower temp. than the DTC's do.

Pros: strong bite, high torque
Cons: squealing at times

I just replaced my OEM pads with Hawk HPS5.0 pads and slotted StopTech rotors. Slightly more dust than the OEM ceramic pads but they do a good job.

Pros: do a good job
Cons: slightly more dust
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Hawk Performance Brake pads

Those were my last pads. The bite is totally different from stock... but in the winter, the first couple of stops are down right scary until the pads get some heat in them. I'm braking down some steep inclines... that's why I got rid of them half way through its life--- hoping the Akebonos will be better..

Pros: different bite
Cons: scary in winter, poor cold performance

I stepped up to Brembo pads on my A4 and they are nothing to write home about performance-wise. They also dust like no other pad I've used.

Cons: poor performance, excessive dust
Vehicle: Audi A4
