If you'd like to correct the brake balance, put some higher cF pads on the front axle only. Hawk HPS works well. Leave the rear with OEM pads. Seems counterintuitive, but this will prolong the life of the rear pads and reduce ABS activation on hard stops.

Pros: prolong rear pads life
Cons: requires higher cF pads

Look at getting Ferodo DS2500 pads on the front axle and Hawk HPS pads for the rear axle. This is a HUGE upgrade and will improve your braking performance tremendously for both street and track.

Pros: improve braking performance

I just installed Hawk HPS pads front and rear about week and a half ago. I did a 300 mile drive up in the twisty mountains here over the weekend and absolutely love the pads. No noise, very little dust, good feedback, cheaper than the Porters.

Pros: No noise, good feedback
Cons: very little dust

I've owned an 01 225 Coupe for one year this past November. It's an AMU motor code and I love the car still. These are the things I have had to replace so far, not counting upgrades: Brakes & brake fluid & front rotors (Hawk HP, ATE superblue) $350

Pros: good braking
Vehicle: Audi TT
Mileage: 62000 km

At Sears Point, braking from 90+ three times per lap (2, 7, 11). Stock GTI vented rotors "work fine" with good fluid and Hawk Blues.

Pros: work fine under stress, good for track use
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Acabei de instalar algumas pastilhas Hawk que não vieram com o sensor e o som de aviso e a luz já estão começando a me deixar um pouco louco.

Pros: pastilhas Hawk instaladas
Cons: som de aviso irritante

I decided to go with the Hawk Ceramic pads and I am now regretting it. The pads give off near 0 brake dust but that initial bite the OEM pads had is gone.

Pros: near 0 brake dust
Cons: initial bite is gone
Mileage: 10000 km
