Brake pads Hawk Performance or Tesla

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.

Pros: held up well, better than stock
Cons: overheat
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.

Pros: no heat needed, quiet
Cons: some dusting

I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.

Pros: held up to track days
Cons: lots of dust

I use Hawk 5.0 with centric 120’rotors. Minimal dust, no noise. Cold performance friendly but enough room in the temp range. So I can beat on it at auto X but still Street friendly.

Pros: minimal dust, no noise

Complete ripoff. Subaru tried that years ago on my STI, I bought Hawk track pads and did it myself (as I would have done anyway). The dealer tried the ol' "These are high end calipers and the pads are much more difficult to change". I just said "Please stop lying to me, you're eroding trust between us" and left. Easiest brakes ever.

Pros: easy installation, cost savings
Cons: dealer dishonesty, high price
Vehicle: Subaru
