Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Chevrolet

Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.

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.

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.

Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.

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.

Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.

The brakes on that thing were absolutely horrible. If you had to panic stop it really was a panic. I never felt that sob was going to stop.
