Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Volkswagen

I would stick to oem or hawk pads.

Especially if you've got a 2019+ Mk7.5, stock Performance Pack brakes will be plenty. That's what I brought to the Dragon. Just make sure your brake fluid is good and you're not due for new pads and rotors for a bit.

Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.

1.4 auto is a good box. Will be nippy but get the brakes checked and renewed if necessary.

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.

Just put Zimmerman rotors and the Hawk Street pads on my non- PP gti. These pads unfortunately shift up and down and make a loud “clank” when braking on transition from 1st to reverse. They still bite great

My only issue is squeaky brakes on reverse. The dealership told me to do some hard braking when they get squeaky, and that actually helps.

I think their break pads are not lasting long. On my 1.5 DSG Kushaq I’m also not getting the break bite which I used to get and they make screeching sounds when are applied, considering the car has only done 17k km till now.

I also have squealing brakes when they are cold and reversing. When they're done, I'll have them replaced with good aftermarket brakes.
