Hawk 5.0 Street Pads, if u want to do a mix of street, spirited and track driving, I run them on my GR86, and no issue. Though they do squeel a bit when its cold out.

Pros: good for mixed driving, no issues
Cons: squeal when cold
Vehicle: Toyota

i run HP+ for track days, will be doing my 4th on them in a few weeks. they are plenty for my level of driving. i take them off after my track day because they are loud and filthy. but for on-track, they are perfect.

Pros: perfect on track, sufficient performance
Cons: loud, filthy
Vehicle: Toyota

I have dtc-60 on mine. They’re great track pads, but overkill for your first track day. They’re comically squeaky if you use them around town and def not made for that.

Pros: great track pads
Cons: overkill for novice, very squeaky

I run the 60s in the front and stock in the rear. The 60s are a lot of braking power specially for your first time. I would not recommend the 70s that will be way too much. They are dusty but I'm at about 50% life on 5 track weekends. One weekend the car almost never shut off. If you are really using them make sure to give them a cool down lap or they will smoke.

Pros: lot of braking power, good longevity
Cons: dusty, can smoke without cooldown

I have the dtc60 with rbf600 fluid. No fade at all. Would recommend. If you're tracking only once a year though, make sure to swap back to street pads. The hawks dust a ton and squeal veeery loud.

Pros: no fade
Cons: very dusty, very loud

Ferodo Brake pads

I’m running DS2500 on my GTI and they are just not *quite* robust enough as I have progressed into the more advanced groups.

Cons: not robust enough

Ferodo Brake pads

I switched to the Ferodo DSUno. I am satisfied with its performance, but they seem to struggle because of something. Today, after the track day on Saturday, I checked it and found a crack and a gnawed edge. Also, they have uneven wear, about 0.5-1mm difference. The differences are between the top and bottom parts of the pads, front and back parts and on different sides of the same rotor (inner and outer pads). Uneven wear was with the old pads as well. Recently, I installed brake air ducts, and after going out from the track, the temperature was, in the worst case, 480C degree, which looks fine for these pads. In total, I drove for about 3 hours on tracks, one on a wet track (so no hard braking) and two moderately/hard(8-9/10) braking. The brake rotors are also new, Zimmermann blank, installed with pads. The initial thickness of the pads is 16.4mm (with the plate, the plate is 5.5mm, so the "pure" pad is about 11mm) Currently, I have eaten about 4.5-5mm of the pads in 3 hours of tracking.

Pros: good performance, satisfied
Cons: uneven wear, cracked, gnawed edge
