I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).
slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM
centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
If you want upgraded pads. Try HAWK 5.0 pads. You can't go wrong with a better initial bit, better response and shorter stopping distance.
I ran Hawk HPS5.0 on my WRX for a while (with STI Brembos) and aftermarket rotors. They worked pretty well for dual purpose.
For street manners but still functional for autocross purposes I liked the Hawk HPS 5.0.
Pads I went with Jurid as they’re oem and wanted strong initial bite. The Jurids nock when I reverse, apply brake, shift to drive and apply again. It’s very annoying. My original BMW OEM pads didn’t do this.
WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.
I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.
