Brake pads OEM Nissan or Hawk Performance

Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.

Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.

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.

Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.

Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

22' with 45k miles and no issues besides a bad battery at the beginning they replaced and brakes don't last much longer than 20-25k miles.

Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.

If im being completetly honest. A nissan gtr nismo. I had a track day for my highschool graduation, the breaks on it didnt feel the best.
