Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

Always had good luck in the past with Hawk HPS pads.

I’m very happy with EBC pads (red stuff)and EBC slotted rotors

I'd do a stock replacement rotor (Zimm) and a pad with a bit more heat tolerance (not a track pad by any means) to deal with the trailer. Reds are fine street pads but will cave to heat somewhat easily.

I do like EBC Redstuff, no issues with initial bite in the winter time.

Brake dust difference between stock Akebono pads on the front and Hawk Performance Ceramic on the rear. The backs would usually be about 70% as dusty as the fronts and now they're essentially clean

Voted EBC Redstuff for mostly street car. Reds produce notably less dust.

EBC Redstuff is really a great pad for this car. 10/10 would recommend

EBC Greenstuff with their slotted rotors have been my favorites so far. Tried Redstuff once but I didn't like them as much

I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again

Even at Gingerman, which is much, much easier on brakes than Road America, the "upgrade" was a disaster. Ok, I admit to not bedding the new pads enough before the track day. That probably contributed to their absolute crap performance.
