Brake pads Hawk Performance or Tesla

I used hawk pads a few years ago on my F150 and even though they were advertised as dust free, they put off some of the worst dust ever even after following the break in instructions. Nowadays, I am a huge Element3 fan boy. All the family vehicles have em and I have no complaints.

I love hawk pads and raybestos Element3 rotors

Ive been really happy with the Hawk HPS 5.0 on 3 of my vehicles. Low noise low dust (and the dust it does make comes off with just car wash soap) and a noticeable increases in pedal feel.

I use Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, happy with them so far

Hawk HP+ if you want to spend a little bit more and get an impressive bite force even when cold. Also suitable for street and light track duty.

I went with Hawk 5.0 pads and Zimmerman rotors on my 340i. Very happy with them.

I use Hawk 5.0 pads with R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted rotors, stops on a dime and cuts alot of speed when adjusting going into corners very predictable

Motul RBF600 is a popular fluid choice.

pad choices are far and wide. i run hawk HP+ which isnt really the best track pad but its gotten me by. the paint on the back of the pads melted off before i ever felt fade so i guess they worked well but i suspect im *at* the limit of their performance.

Hawk hp+ and a small car duster, they are dusty. You loose some initial bite but the more you dig in the better they work.

I did two track days on these new hawk hp+ brake pads and Zimmerman rotors. After the first track day, something weird started happening: I started hearing the squealing that I hear while breaking even when I’m not breaking. It’s not constant, but it’s coming from all four wheels and is mostly heard at low speeds, especially after starting to drive after coming to a complete stop. These are two track days in. Should I be worried?
