Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Audi

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 have a 2021 District Green Q5e / tan interior and it has been a fantastic car for my use case. 55% City driving means little to no gas use with home charging. Lots of road trips too, it’s a fast highway cruiser. 50k miles so far.

Brakes will last forever since I use so much regen.

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

Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.

I have used HPS 5.0 for a long time now. They do dust a decent amount.

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.
