Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Chevrolet

I ran Hawk HPS5.0 on my WRX for a while (with STI Brembos) and aftermarket rotors. They worked pretty well for dual purpose.

For street manners but still functional for autocross purposes I liked the Hawk HPS 5.0.

I run Hawk HPS which have reduced dust as compared to the factory OE Brembo pads. They are quiet enough too.

Hawk HP 5.0 was a decent enough upgrade for my tuned S5 and still perfectly fine for street use for my first few track days.

HAWK HPS 5.0 on mine currently - no complaints. Keeps the Linear pedal feel (doesnt bite hard in the beginning then dies out if that makes sense) and stops much better than the OEMs. It does dust a bit but nothing crazy.

my strategy when I started to run into a similar type of problem (brake pads disintegrating and eating my budget) was to go to endurance race pads - for me the Hawk ER1 pads seem to be working well.

12k miles. My brakes squeal the first time i use them in the morning.

My Equinox has 10,400km and will always make noise under braking at the beginning of the ride and then gradually stops. Braking feels good though.

Chevrolet. One of the issues the car had was when it would rain. The brakes wouldn't always work.

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