Brake pads Ferodo or Hawk Performance

Hawk LTS improved the pedal in my 460, and unlike power stop, Hawk isn’t the laughing stock of track day communities

I have Hawk 5.0 pads with KnS standard rotors and they've been pretty great so far.

I’d used hawk ceramic pads especially since you don’t plan on tracking the car. Low dust and will keep the wheels looking good between washes

They don't even squeal as much any more

Hawk DTC-60 pads are the best value performance pads I found. Stock blank rotors are fine, I upgraded to a 335i sport caliper set and its been more than sufficient for many track days

EBC for occasional track and daily pad. HAWK DCT60 is what I’m running. Stops so good!!

I ran hawk hp+ pads last year before starting my first track season ever. After 7-8 track days, driving to and from track, and the occasional fun drive on the street. About 10k miles later, I swapped them for fresh hp+ pads for this year. Comparing the old vs fresh pads, I used about 50% of the pad.

I used these Hawk brake pads for a HPDE track day so they did get very hot. They still have 10mm of thickness left, but this particular pad has these very pronounced cracks. All other pads have very minor cracks (barely visible), but this one was the worst.

I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.

Not only do they do that, they're a terrible autocross pad. Dust is something that happens with pads that stop there are very few that stop and don't make dust. However there are different types of dust, stuff that sticks to everything and stuff that wipes off easily. But the problem with those pads in general isn't even the dust it's there very on off switch nature. They're very powerful and they're very grabby and they do not release well either which makes abs fight a lot more to do its job.
