Brake pads Hawk Performance or Duralast

I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.

I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0

powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is good

After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.

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

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

Everyone in Aviation has switched to Duralast brayke pads, it seems... They should have stayed with Akebono.

Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.
