Brake pads EBC or Hawk Performance

My Mk2 VR had the full Corrado G60 front and rears. I used Zimmermann stock replacement rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads. They did an excellent job.

i have hawk ceramic brake pads front and rear along with ss brake lines on my 2012 golf R. I got them from ecs tuning and they work great! nice improvement over stock.

I am on Hawk HPS and I absolutely love them, great bite. Buddies in there STI's were shocked at how fast my car stopped and how hard the brakes bit. Very low dusting, takes about 5X as long to see dust as the stock pads.

Yes...to an extent but the biggest difference in braking performance will come from the pads you use. I like having slots because I feel it does help, especially in wet conditions to channel the water away for quicker bite.

I've fitted EBC yellow stuff pads (and standard VW discs), and I've found the braking performance to be amazing for road use. These pads were so much better than anything I've bought over the counter from VW.

My R32 with new brakes is unreal, stops way better then my jetta, the car you drove must of had shot brakes, Mine will smash my face in to the steering wheel is im not careful that how hard I can stop. I got stock callipers with hawks HPS pads all round made the car so much better

I have settled on the Hps pads over red stuff. They both have good pedal feel, stopping power and fade resistance, but the deciding factor was the amount of dust they make. Red Stuff pads make nasty dust, but the Hawk pads are virtually dustless.

started w/ oem here, way overcooked them and then changed to hawk hps (no HP+ for the R which was what I liked). Used them last year and cooked the fronts good and used them up, not enough bite for me, but felt a bit better than oem.

Last year I switched to HP+s and have been unimpressed. imo they are fairly vague. I've also found the dust from the HP+s to be very corrosive.
