Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Volkswagen

i have the complete g60 front brake swap with stainless lines and 22mm master cylinder. i must say it is one of the best mods i have done to improve the truck. huge difference from the slotted rotors and hawk blue pads on my 9.4s and i am just running the oe pads and rotors on the g60 brake setup.

X2 hps had them on my mkv and loved them. Even did a track day with them

As for the brakes the S2 16v's should take it hands down.

But the MK2 brakes by far hands down feel better and seem to grab better. I'm not sure why that is, they are actually more worn than my Mk1.

I have Hawk Performance Ceramic pads and Eurospec slotted roters on my GLI daily driver and they've always seemed to bite right away.

HP+ is a good pad for street/autox, and some light track use. They will dust a good amount, and have a squeel now and then. I found it has a minor tendancy to fade on faster road courses

I've had Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on GLI daily driver for 2+ years. They stop very well and keep the RC's nice and clean...almost no dust.

I've had Hawk performance Ceramic pads on my GLI for 2+ years. No problems at all and they stop very well.

I just put on Hawk HP pads today on drilled & slotted rotors, and did a proper bed-in procedure. When they're heated up, they do stop nicely - however, they do completely lack the initial bite of the OEM brakes

I would steer away from the Hawk HPS pads for track use. I used em just for a track day and they were starting to fade. Like someone else mentioned, the Hawk HP plus is better
