Brake pads Centric or Hawk Performance

HAWK HP+ front pads for Track Days

Stock pads were driving me insane so I switched to ceramic Hawks. I don't track my car and the noise is gone so I'm happy with them. I don't have to clean the car that often either since the dust is minimal.

With those rotors, Hawk HPS+ pads, ATE Typ200 fluid, and TyrolSport caliper stiffening bushings, the thing stops very well for DD use. Still gonna fade hard after a relatively short while though.

Last time I did brakes on my Tiguan I did Centric high-carbon, coated rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads that I got off of Rockauto. They have 20k miles on them now and I have zero complaints. They just do what they are supposed to, and have almost zero dust. Perfect in my book.

Like others, I too run Zimmerman blank Z coats on both vehicles, EBC Red pads on the Beetle & Hawk 5.0 on the Tig.

I use Hawk HP5 pads and love them. Feels like stock.

New brake pads and rotors, front and rear. Rebuilt brake calipers. Hawk and OEM parts.

I got Hawk HPS pads recently on my 987.2 Cayman and they definitely have less dust and equal or better braking power.

They are absolutely not track pads. They fill this awkward in-between in which they have the coefficient of friction and modulation of good aggressive street pads but also dust and make tons of noise in street usage.

The M240i needed new pads and rotors. I order HPS 5.0 + Zimmerman rotors from FCP's site which says they're compatible. I install them and the car sounds like a jalopy. Loud wub wub wub under braking and only braking, more pressure == more loud. It sounds like it's coming from both fronts.
