Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Audi

I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0

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.

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

No. Looks perfectly normal.

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

1.5 years ago a client was offered brake pads only with a 1 year warranty, no guarantee against noises or pulsations, or brake pads and rotors together with a 3 year warranty against noises and pulsations. They opted for the 1 year option on their fancy 2017 Audi because the rotors were stupid expensive.

I tried Hawk HP+ dual use but they were exactly as people warned. Worst of both worlds.

Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
