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

Pros: improved braking performance

Hawk Performance Brake pads

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.

Pros: high performance street pads
Cons: stock pads not recommended

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.

Pros: car stops quickly
Cons: not impressed with brakes

started w/ oem here, way overcooked them and then changed to hawk hps (no HP+ for the R which was what I liked). Used them last year and cooked the fronts good and used them up, not enough bite for me, but felt a bit better than oem.

Pros: felt a bit better than oem
Cons: not enough bite

I did receive slightly used R32 front HPS pads for my R32 last year from them. I was a little dissapointed but I didn't want to wait two more weeks to get new pads.

Cons: slightly used, dissapointed
