Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Audi

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.

Brakes and rotors at 30K miles??? I just replaced mine on my 2016 A4 at 75K and the still had plenty of wear left. Yes, I drive aggressively too.

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.

Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.

My S4 needed brakes at around 30k. I had a couple dealerships price it out and it was about that.

Unless you thrash your car and don\u2019t care about it, a full brake+tire/alignment service at 30k is wild.

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