Brake pads OEM Honda or Hawk Performance

OEM Honda Brake pads

I am easy on brakes. I coast to stops and don't speed either. I have a 2009 Fit. I swapped the front pads and rotors at 120,000 miles just because. They totally did not need to be swapped. I have since put 97,000 miles on the replacement pads and rotors. The ceramic pads I installed have plenty of life left. The rotors are near the end, but still work.

Pros: long lasting, good quality
Cons: rotor wear
Vehicle: Honda Fit
Mileage: 217000 km

I’m a fan of the Hawk HP+ track pads! The bite and fade resistance is excellent. They’re a little squeaky on the street but not terrible.

Pros: excellent bite, fade resistance
Cons: squeaky on street

I recently did the Hawk 5.0 pads and they are lacking on initial bite. Bit disappointing. Much better for repeated breaking tho, as they warm up.

Pros: better for repeated breaking
Cons: lacking on initial bite

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I used these Hawk brake pads for a HPDE track day so they did get very hot. They still have 10mm of thickness left, but this particular pad has these very pronounced cracks. All other pads have very minor cracks (barely visible), but this one was the worst.

Pros: 10mm thickness remaining
Cons: pronounced cracks
