Brake pads Hawk Performance or GALFER

hawk HPS 5.0 are great pads for daily and ‘spirited’ driving

I run HH Sintered Galfer pads which make a big difference off road.

I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).

slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM

centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving

i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.

WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.

Hawk pads brake great but they will eat your rotors and they are some of the dustiest pads.

I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.

I changed out the oem and ran Hawks for a while, braking distance wan't much difference but the brake dust was terrible, Rims where dirty all of the time.
