Brake pads OEM Mazda or Hawk Performance

i decide to swap for BBK Discs front mercedes GL 350mm drilled Textar's i pads Hawk Performance 5.0 rear discs 310mm drilled Textar i pads Hawk performance 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.

R32 front brakes with hawk pads (installed at 25k)

Hawk HPS are outstanding, good bite with very linear feel and low dust

I've been happy with my Hawk HPS. I don't track my car, but they handle the dragon fine.

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

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

HP+ are fine on the track. They are not full-on race pads, but they will hold you down for the first few days back. We run those on the Scirocco LeMons car - it's so light that it never gets the brakes beyond warm. I also run them with summer tyres on my wagon - Great balanced pad that lets you know you are braking.

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).

I was at the track this weekend and basically, even with the hawk blues, the brakes just don't provide the clamping I need.
