Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads, Motul 5.1 fluid. Initial bite is as good as if not better than stock, but they seem to get much stronger with some heat in them. Biggest plus is the massive decrease in brake dust.

Pros: stronger with heat, less dust
Vehicle: Volkswagen

They're quite a good combo. I glazed them doing too much drifting in the snow, but fixed with a bench grinder and they're as good as day 1.

Pros: good combo, as good as day 1
Cons: glazed easily
Vehicle: Subaru

Hawk Blues are the best I’ve driven on a street driven 930 being used on the track. Thousands of laps with different compounds. Or HPS+ if you’re not that aggressive.

Pros: best on track

I use Hawk Blues on-track and street pads off. Pads are so easy to change on our cars that it is only a 30 minute job to swap before each track day once you have some practice. The Blues are very abrasive and will clean any bedding material off the rotor if you just lightly ride the brakes for a few minutes while the pads are cold. The Blues have plenty of stopping power when cold on the street, but squeal a lot and eat through rotors very quickly. On-track they have been fade-free for me with excellent modulation using ATE TYP200 brake fluid.

Pros: easy to change, good modulation
Cons: squeal a lot, eat rotors quickly

I was leaning toward trying Hawk HPS pad for the GSW, but I first put them on my Focus ST and while I'm satisfied with the performance, I'm disappointed in the noise level; I have a squeak that I cannot eliminate, even after taking them off, re-bedding, and meticulously applying brake grease in the right spots.

Pros: satisfied with performance
Cons: disappointed in the noise level
Vehicle: Ford Focus

That's normal for those. I have been through 3 or 4 sets now and to be honest, I think I'm done. After COVID they just seem to be very unpredictable. I've my last set did some weird stuff sometimes and my current set feels like it needs way more temp then it should. When I did a track day and put dtc60s on it, they gripped immediately on a cold stop where the HP+ felt like it needed some use. None of the other pairs have felt that way. The noise is also totally random now, the first couple sets would be loud unless they had heat, but the new ones are a lot quieter and sometimes loud.

Cons: unpredictable, inconsistent, noisy
