Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM KIA

I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.

I would stick to oem or hawk pads.

Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.

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

I bought a 2023 kia soul specifically for uber and just hit 100000 miles. Only problems ive had are nails in my tires and recently changed my rear brake pads.

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 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.

The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.

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

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.
