Hawk Performance Brake pads

Rating 5.0

I have scirocco 10.1's up front and 8(?) discs out back with mk4 calipers. All four have Hawk HPS pads I believe. They're more than enough stopping power, OEM, and very affordable if you buy them on vortex, ebay, or a junkyard.

Pros: more than enough stopping power

Have yet to find a better street pad than BMW's OE compound. Ceramics dust less but feel terrible.

Pros: better than ceramics
Cons: Ceramics feel terrible
Vehicle: BMW

I use Hawk HP Plus pads on track days. They bite great when cold and can take some punishment. They howl like a banshee during normal braking

Pros: bite great when cold
Cons: howl like a banshee

Hawk Performance Brake pads

All the people complaining about the noise of the Hawk, i cannot say that i experience the same result. They are a little squeakier than the OEM pads of course, but they aren't like full on race brake loud like people have reported. Maybe my experience is the outlier here, because i was really happy actually with them on the track

Pros: happy on the track
Cons: little squeakier than OEM

The HPS were good for the street, dust wasn't bad, but I thought they weren't enough for me on the street, and definitely were not on the track (as I overheated them routinely).

Pros: dust wasn't bad
Cons: overheated them routinely
