Brake pads Hawk Performance or Tesla

I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all my Audis.

Loved my hawk track pads in the front on power stop rotors. I tried the EBC as well but only had them for a few thousand miles before I traded it in.

I'm at 71k on the original pads for my 2021 Model 3. I dont seem to go through pads quite as fast as some people.

Still on the originals at 110K miles on my 2016 Model S, plenty of wear left.

my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.

Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.

2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.

I've used hawk hp+ all last year and my first event of this year; they do serve as a pretty good intermediate pad, if I were you I'd go after something similar to it or slightly more track-oriented, but as I understand it the "HPS" pads are not designed for track use, more of just a capable street pad. The HP+ feel great for street driving, but be aware that they do create a fuckton of dust, and oftentimes they squeal like a school bus as you come to a stop. On track, I'd say they do fine for a beginner. I tend to brake on the early side and not as hard as I could, it's an area where I could certainly improve. I have noticed some brake fade at my most recent event, and for that reason I will be installing some G-loc r8's tomorrow, with a backup set of R12's for the front.

I've also had the Hawk HPS, another popular pad, but this has less bite and actually takes some leg work to really get them working IMO. I didn't like the feel.

As good as they are I had to stop using them because of the dust. Ruined the clear coat on my rims. Also the noise when coming to a gentle stop
