Brake pads Hawk Performance or GALFER

I use Hawk Blue pads, they brake great and don't wear out.

I recently put Hawk Performance Ceramics (yellow box) on my FL5 for daily driving to combat the insane amount of brake dust that OEM pads have. So far they feel really good! They seem to have an initial bite that is a little more aggressive than the OEM pads, but still have good modulation. FWIW I live in the south and I haven't yet driven them in cold temps. I've read that ceramics can have a weaker initial bite when temps are near freezing but I haven't had a chance to evaluate that.

Hawk DTC 70 or 60 are great and not too expensive, plus they didn't squeel for me on the street.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You could look at Hawk Enduro pads and see if they last longer but you'll probably net less braking power so you'll need to recalibrate your markers a bit. 3100lbs and 300hp - dtc60s last me 8-11 track days (though one of my local tracks is easy on brakes) based on my experience last year running in advanced groups - including multiple open sessions with 30-50m long runs.

Hawk HPS 5.0 front and rear.

They dust the same as what came on my car from the factory, the first 1k miles they felt like they needed some extra heat in them to get a "normal" feel but by the time I left my neighborhood it was fine. Either I'm used to it now or it went away.

The brakes suck. Kind of makes me think they just need to be bled, or the ABS pump needs to be cycled and bled via OBD2 scanner. I ordered SS lines, Hawk pads, and fluid to fix it.
