Brake pads Ferodo or Hawk Performance

Ferodo Brake pads

I was a huge fan of Ferodo DS2500s on Centric rotors. They performed insanely well for street duty and were decent enough for track days.

Pros: insanely well for street
Cons: decent for track days

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I run hawk 5.0 pads (i used to use ebc yellow but theres been reports of ebc pads delaminating so i stopped using ebc)

I use the centric premium coated blanks & change rotors every time I change pads.

For fluid I use ate200

I swapped out the hoses for braided ss hoses.

Pros: good performance
Cons: EBC delamination reports
Vehicle: Honda

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I currently use Hawk DTC60’s on my Scion FRS with Motul RBF600 fluid for track days. The brakes feel great to me, I like the bite, and they don’t fade even on multi day events.

Pros: great feel, good bite, no fade
Cons: expensive

Just switched to dba t2 w Hawk ceramics (combo set from new provisions racing) w factory calipers and lines.

I’d been considering brembo swap, but money had to be reallocated, so I abandoned full upgrade dreams. Old rotors were warped and pads were a dusty mess, so pretty much anything was an improvement.

Hawks are quiet, super-smooth/consistent engagement when I step on pedal, and minimal dust. Definitely happy w decision.

Pros: quiet, smooth engagement, minimal dust

i’ve ran ferrodo ds2500 on my gli, they worked well as a hybrid street/track pad but would fade a bit after a few hard sessions

Pros: good hybrid pad
Cons: fades after hard sessions

The brakes suck. Kind of makes me think they just need to be bled, or the ABS pump needs to be cycled and bled via OBD2 scanner. I ordered SS lines, Hawk pads, and fluid to fix it.

Cons: brakes suck
