Brake pads Hawk Performance or GALFER

I run stop tech rotors/hawk HP plus pads/motul high temp/and goodrich SS lines on my m coupe and that’s also a great, much less expensive set up.

refresh brakes with Hawk HPS 5.0 and restore look of the calipers

I replaced my OEMs with Hawk HPS 5.0s. Very similar feel to the stock pads without that initial hard bite. Less dust as well.

I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.

Galfer pro pads are the best ones I have ever used. They have more power, maybe same amount of modulation as shimano ones, they seem to resist fade better amd have ok life span.

I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.

Hawk ER1. They’re fantastic.

I went with hawk 5.0 pads, they dust wayyyyy less than stock. Bite and stopping power feels just as good.

Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.

As good as they are I had to stop using them because of the dust. Ruined the clear coat on my rims. Also the noise when coming to a gentle stop
