Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I use EBC blues on front and EBC yellow on rear (they don’t make blues for my rear brakes). I love them, I think they work great on street and track, although wear a lot faster than Yellows did when I was first starting out.

Hawk Blues are the best I’ve driven on a street driven 930 being used on the track. Thousands of laps with different compounds. Or HPS+ if you’re not that aggressive.

I had ebc reds on my last wrx and loved them. There were a lil dusty, but I was very impressed with their stopping power

Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.

The steel lines are great addition. The EBC pads add significant bite, but I did warp my stock rotor with a full weekend at Road Atlanta. Put a Galfer rotor on there.

I use Hawk Blues on-track and street pads off. Pads are so easy to change on our cars that it is only a 30 minute job to swap before each track day once you have some practice. The Blues are very abrasive and will clean any bedding material off the rotor if you just lightly ride the brakes for a few minutes while the pads are cold. The Blues have plenty of stopping power when cold on the street, but squeal a lot and eat through rotors very quickly. On-track they have been fade-free for me with excellent modulation using ATE TYP200 brake fluid.

I really liked the Hawk HPS 5.0s on my WRX. Good enough for the track and plenty comfortable for the street

I just changed my oem rear pads to them after 160,000km and it works well without any vibrations.

They're a great fast street pad. I liked them for daily use and the occasional Pass or backroad run but they're just not great for a track day. They get chewed up fairly quick and overheat quickly as well.

I had EBC on my GT4, 10000 km and 3-4 track days and they were out.
