I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.

Pros: low dust, good performance

Vehicle: Porsche

I have 150+k on my MK7.5 GTi. I’ve run Hawk pads and rotors since the OEM brakes came off. They are great. Fronts are slotted and drilled, rears are slotted, no noise, brake dust isn’t bad.

Pros: no noise, low dust

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 150000 km

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Pros: none

Cons: louder slide

Vehicle: Ford Focus

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.

Cons: poor longevity, frequent replacement
