Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

Another vote for EBC red. Have had them on my MK7.5 GTI and Porsche 991 C2S and very happy. Good initial bite and low dust as a bonus. Great for street but would consider Yellow if doing track days.

I used EBC yellow stuff. A little loud but great pads.

Hawk LTS improved the pedal in my 460, and unlike power stop, Hawk isn’t the laughing stock of track day communities

I have Hawk 5.0 pads with KnS standard rotors and they've been pretty great so far.

I did EBC red stuff and replaced pads all around at ~50k miles. My rotors weren't bad at all so I kept the old ones on. My pads coulda gone a few more years also. No complaints!

Slotted are ok drilled are not going to hold up to daily driving. I tried stopteh , ebc and brembo all cracked at the drill points prematurely. I have a 2009 crew cab sport and use it to tow a Dodge Viper. EBC slotted and greens are what I use and have gotten the best mileage out of that pairing. The original mopar brakes lasted the longest but the greens decrease braking distance when towing IMO.

I’d used hawk ceramic pads especially since you don’t plan on tracking the car. Low dust and will keep the wheels looking good between washes

I run yellows and they are brilliant. The stopping distance is about 50% more. Been doing a fair bit of miles and they dont seem to be wearing out excessively. I wouldnt go for anything more aggressive for daily use though you need cold stopping power for when somone pull into your lane during long motorway trips in the rain.

I recently installed EBC redstuff with new rotors. Did the bed in procedure and worked great for first 300 miles or so. Today, I noticed a really loud squeaking noise coming from one of my wheels. Noise starts after brakes are warmed up, and increases when turning the wheel. Goes away when I apply the brakes. Think my pads might be glazed after some sprites driving, but not like I’ve done anything crazy.

I tried them one time on my track car and they were terrible.
