i like the HAWK HPS 5.0 pads. they've been pretty good for daily driving.
I just finish installing new rotors/pads on my 2019 R-Line Tiguan - O.E.M. Hardware gave up at 34K Miles.... I installed A.P.R. front and rear rotors... HAWK Front & Rear Performance pads
I went with DBA street slotted rotors and hawk hps pads. Couldn't be happier. Also way less brake dust compared to stock pads.
I'm using Hawk HPS pads on mine, and Raybestos Advanced rotors. It's a good sharp stop.
The OEM pads on my R create more dust than my Hawk HPS pads on my GLI. I’d rather have pads that perform and are kind of dusty. Honestly the dust is easier to clean off than the stock pads so it’s a wash lol.
And yeah the 5.0 is the newer version. As per Hawk: Hawk Performance said: The HPS 5.0 compound is similar in application with a strong focus on improving the already great properties of HPS. This compound offers stronger fade reduction, increased stopping power, easier modulation, and a decrease in wear, noise, and dust. In short, this compound can take more abuse while maintaining great street friendly performance characteristics!
Just replaced my PP pads & rotors. Hawk HPS & EBC RedStuff are both decent ceramic pad options. Shopped around quite a bit and never had the Brembos recommended. I went with Zimmerman blank rotors & Hawk HPS pads. No complaints + expecting less dust!
HPS 5.0 pads. Little less initial bite than the original pads but more overall grab.
I used them on the street and in autocross on my '79 RX-7 and would agree that they were noisy and dusty on the street - the dust also ate through the finish on my wheels on that car. I didn't have fade issues with them, but that car was light and not very powerful, so it wasn't very hard on brakes.
I have Hawk HPS 5.0 street pads on mine, and hate them. They're ass until you get some heat in them.
