Brake pads Ferodo or Hawk Performance

I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all my Audis.

Loved my hawk track pads in the front on power stop rotors. I tried the EBC as well but only had them for a few thousand miles before I traded it in.

Hawk HPS Brake Pads (MK6 Golf GTI) $50 * NIB Hawk HPS Brake Pads Hawk 'Performance Street' Brake Pads: *High Performance Street 5.0 ('B' Compound Code)*The new High Performance Street 5.0 Pads are a Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads that provide advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience.

I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.

Hawk HPS 5.0 pads

Can’t say anything bad about the Hawk brake pads. I have HPD 5.0’s and they stop great and dust very little.

I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.

I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again

I have Ferodo DS2500 pads on my 987 Cayman. They are a good pad for street/track duty and it seems they come recommended on the forums. Just remember a dual purpose pads are okay for street and track, but not great in either.

I ran Hawk DTC60's for one event. They dust like crazy which isn't the end of the world by itself, but if the dust touches any moisture at all (like the rainy track day) it mixes into what I can only describe as ferrous concrete. So not only is the dust-crete impossible to remove by any normal means, it then rusts like crazy, turning whatever wheels you have into a runny orange mess. I tried multiple different wheel cleaners, multiple brushes, soaking, anything and nothing could get it off. I had to use scotch brite and scuff the hell out of the wheels to get it off. Fortunately I run cheap TRM wheels and it's a track-only car otherwise I would have been livid.
