Rating 5.0

I just installed Hawk HPS pads front and rear about week and a half ago. I did a 300 mile drive up in the twisty mountains here over the weekend and absolutely love the pads. No noise, very little dust, good feedback, cheaper than the Porters.

Pros: No noise, good feedback
Cons: very little dust

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I've owned an 01 225 Coupe for one year this past November. It's an AMU motor code and I love the car still. These are the things I have had to replace so far, not counting upgrades: Brakes & brake fluid & front rotors (Hawk HP, ATE superblue) $350

Pros: good braking
Vehicle: Audi TT
Mileage: 62000 km

What I did notice is that the brakes performed better when doing repeated stops which is related to their heat dissispation.

Pros: better performance, repeated stops
Vehicle: Audi TT

The most economical upgrade for street use is just beefy pads. Try Ferodo DS2500 on the front axle with your OEM 11.3" rotors combined with Hawk HPS on the rears.

Pros: economical upgrade, beefy pads

At Sears Point, braking from 90+ three times per lap (2, 7, 11). Stock GTI vented rotors "work fine" with good fluid and Hawk Blues.

Pros: work fine under stress, good for track use
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had a track day yesterday and I think my rear brakes are overheating. The rears are 9.1" solid rotors with Hawk HPS pads. The edge of the pads close to the rotors turned an orangy-brown colour and smelled real bad after my last session. I'm pretty sure it is overheating.

Cons: rears are overheating

my HPS are now cooked after my track events. They're also getting noticeably more dusty, too. I'm going to be getting better pads before my next event. My last trip to Limerock, they were fading bad after only a lap. But, they held up for a long time before that.

Pros: held up for a long time
Cons: cooked after track events, getting more dusty, fading bad
