Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on all four corners. Not the first time I've used Hawks like these, but they feel pretty good so far. Using Motul 600 fluid.

Pros: feel pretty good

I prefer Hawk Truck pads. Been using them on my tree for 20 years. Get good life out of them. Check pad wear. Mine squeak under light braking when dusty.

Pros: long life, good quality
Cons: squeak when dusty

Hawk Street 5.0 have been better at stopping than stock, lasted over 25k miles with about 60% left, and have dramatically less dusting than stock.

Pros: better stopping, less dusting
Mileage: 40233 km

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 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.

Pros: no fade issues
Cons: noisy and dusty
Vehicle: Mazda

I tried the hawk hps on my mk4 jetta. I wasn't to impressed with them for what they are. They took a long time to break in, break dust was okay, and the breaking performance is so so. I ran them in the fronts and rear. The rears wore down very quickly and the fronts last a long time.

Pros: okay break dust
Cons: long break in, wore quickly
