Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

I'm running Hawk Ceramic 5.0 brakes up front. They screech on the street but held up just fine on track.

I went from OEM to ebc yellow stuff to combat brake fade on the track. I feel a bite difference on the road for sure. If you don’t mind a bit of squeak, the ebc brakes are good.

I also upgraded brakes to Optimal brand e-cote rotors and EBC Red street/performance pads. A nice improvement in brake feel and the new rotors look better, but hardly necessary.

Calipers cleaned up with new EBC pads, as well as a complete fluid flush.

I did install Hawk HP+ pads w/Centric high carbon blank rotors and flushed the system with Motul 600 brake fluid. That setup has worked well on my girlfriend's Cooper S while it did double duty on track weekends. So, it should work for this car.

Hawk HPS are GREAT.

Hawk HPS5.0 pads front and rear with slotted StopTech rotors.

Just had Stoptech slotted front rotors, EBC ceramic brake pads and Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid installed on my 2016 GSW....BIG improvement at reasonable price....

I had the same problem, thought it was the suspension. Took this video to diagnose it and the dealer figured out it was the EBC pads rattling in the calipers. Too bad, I really liked how quiet they were (no squaks!) for street duty while giving no fade issues for 25 mins track sessions.

I also bought EBC YellowStuff last year, and they promptly broke several springs which lead to hugely annoying rattle noises when driving over bumps.
