Blank rotors from tasca and hawk hps 5.0 pads. Feels and preforms great.
Hawk HPS... Had them on my Mk5 GTI with ATE Power Slot rotors. I used hell out of that setup at the N\u00fcrburgring and on the Autobahn.
Hawk HPS - not too expensive, great pads and they last forever with minimal dust. I am a fan
I am running Hawk HPS and the intial bite is awesome(eyeballs hit the windshield) even when cold, much better then HP+ that I had before.
Hawks HPS 5.0, that's what I have on my Jetta, that's what I'll be putting on the Camaro soon.
Ecs tuning 2piece rotors and hawk hp plus pads. Minimal dust, great stopping, and no rust.
Porsche Cayenne (18Z) calipers in front w/ ML55 345mm rotors & Hawk HPS pads 034 Motorsport 300mm rotor conversion in rear w/ new calipers & Hawk HPS pads Braided stainless brake lines all around Brake fluid flushed and replaced with Motul RBF 600 ST coilovers (KW's entry-level brand)
The brakes are a bit touchy at first. However as time goes on and they bed in they seem to be better. They are very well suited to back roads/canyon carving.
Driving the Golf R made me not buy it. I have a 2009 MKV TSI base model 6mt with APR Stg 2 (intake, chip, downpipe) upgraded stock brakes (hawk HPS, ss lines, dot 4 fluid), KW V3 coilovers (both rebound and compression adjustable) and it was faster, handled better and braked similarly to the Golf R.
My front pads were noisy, kept the front wheels covered in dust and suffered from crystallisation due to severe driving conditions (temperature, humidity and slopes). The noise began at 1500mi and now at 6800mi it is so loud that it can be heard from 60ft away.
