Brake pads Ferodo or Hawk Performance

The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0

Back in May I swapped OEM pads for Ferodo DS2500 for my first track day in my GR86. Otherwise the car is bone stock. I noticed some slight pulsing of the steering wheel but only during hard braking (100 to 30mph). No brake fade that I noticed.

Once your stock brake pads are toast as well I’d upgrade them to something like Hawk’s HPS 5 pads.

hawk HPS 5.0 are great pads for daily and ‘spirited’ driving

I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).

slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM

centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving

I daily and autox ferodo ds2500, pretty happy with them, more dust and noise than an oem pad but can withstand light track work. Doesn’t sound like an awful bus/train but the occasional squeak happens.

I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty

I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
