i run HP+ for track days, will be doing my 4th on them in a few weeks. they are plenty for my level of driving. i take them off after my track day because they are loud and filthy. but for on-track, they are perfect.

Pros: perfect on track, sufficient performance
Cons: loud, filthy
Vehicle: Toyota

I have dtc-60 on mine. They’re great track pads, but overkill for your first track day. They’re comically squeaky if you use them around town and def not made for that.

Pros: great track pads
Cons: overkill for novice, very squeaky

I run the 60s in the front and stock in the rear. The 60s are a lot of braking power specially for your first time. I would not recommend the 70s that will be way too much. They are dusty but I'm at about 50% life on 5 track weekends. One weekend the car almost never shut off. If you are really using them make sure to give them a cool down lap or they will smoke.

Pros: lot of braking power, good longevity
Cons: dusty, can smoke without cooldown

I have the dtc60 with rbf600 fluid. No fade at all. Would recommend. If you're tracking only once a year though, make sure to swap back to street pads. The hawks dust a ton and squeal veeery loud.

Pros: no fade
Cons: very dusty, very loud

I recently switched to DTC-60 for my first full on race pad. Worked fine for my turbo car except my calipers got crazy hot.

Pros: worked fine
Cons: calipers got hot
Vehicle: Mazda

I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.

Pros: leaps and bounds better
Cons: boiled DOT3 fluid
Vehicle: Honda

I have about 1k miles on my 25 Equinox EV and the brakes have started doing this. It’s horrendous backing out of my driveway and at drive thru’s. Sounds like I’m driving an old beat up car that I haven’t maintained.

Cons: horrendous noise, sounds like old car
