Brake pads OEM Honda or Hawk Performance

I needed upgrades brakes (rear drums to discs), upgraded shocks with camber+caster adjustment, rear axle needed to be bent to give me more camber since GE8's don't have shimming like the GK or GD.

I recently changed entire front end + all 4 rotors and brakes and even asked them extensively about future parts availability.

I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.

I have 150+k on my MK7.5 GTi. I’ve run Hawk pads and rotors since the OEM brakes came off. They are great. Fronts are slotted and drilled, rears are slotted, no noise, brake dust isn’t bad.

Avg cost for me has been around 2.5k-3.5k for normal services (oil changes, washers etc.) else big services have been around 5k which includes brake pads, spark plugs etc.

After bringing the knuckle back, we reinstalled the brake pads. We had a difficult time getting the pads to sit correctly, specifically with the anti-rattle clips (prongs). Eventually, they seemed to seat properly, and we reattached the pads and caliper.

Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.

Issues included brakes dying (out of brake fluid, pero may tagas din yung hydrovac)
