Brake pads Hawk Performance or Duralast

Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.

I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.

I have 150+k on my MK7.5 GTi. I’ve run Hawk pads and rotors since the OEM brakes came off. They are great. Fronts are slotted and drilled, rears are slotted, no noise, brake dust isn’t bad.

Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.

Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.

Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.

They currently have sales on their duralast branded ones and even hand bundle sales. Duralast won’t be the best, but guarantee it’s better than those sawdust with grey spray can paint pads.

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.

Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.
