Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

312 upgrade. Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Redstuff pads.

So for approximately $300 I got much better components. Which are MUCH better than stock and improved feel and effectiveness. ECS Tuning cross drilled and slotted rotors(288mm) EBC Red Stuff

I like the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, but I'm not sure if they will be good on the track or not.

if you are sick and tired of scrubbing your wheels then i would highly recommend ceramic pads as the dust is a fraction of the OEM pads. I just changed out mine a few months ago (hawk ceramic from pelican parts) and the change is night and day. I don't track may car and i would say i'm mildly spirited in my driving, but these have been great so far.

I had about 21,000 kms on my GLI and noticed a little bit of vibration at higher speed braking. I was sick of the OEM pads dust so I swapped out the pads to Hawk HPS street 5.0's. The front rotors had a ton of wear on it for a relatively new car. I heard from a few shops that the OEM pads eat rotors. I decided to change the front rotors but kept the rears as there was hardly any wear on it. Brake pedal feels much more solid and next to no brake dust and better braking power. Great upgrade and strongly recommend.

I switched to EBC red stuff pads when I had my BBK installed. I like them, but haven't taken them to the track yet. Much less dust than stock.

Hawk HP+ is a very good multiuse pad if you can get them for your car. Be warned - they will squeak pretty loudly and dust your wheels, but they work fine on the street, great in the canyons, and will still last at least a few sessions on track.

You'll be fine with those pads, your final lap should always be a cool down lap and when you park your car never use the E brake. I use the same brake pad and have been tracking on them for 3 years now, 28 days on them last year.

I used up 40% of brand-new Hawk HPS pad in the front in 1 track day, so I only have 1 or 2 more track days left in them.

Closest were the EBC Yellows, but the fronts crumbled on a hot day at a fast track (VIR.)
