Brakes were great, no fade issues(Hawk Ceramic 5.0 pads up front, stockers in the rear) running Motul RBF. Mixed conditions so I had a little of everything, rain, drying, damp. NO bias problems at all, no issues w/the ABS doing funky things. The car didn't want to throw itself off track or anything like that, even in the rain. Just very progressive feel. They put up with me having to trailbrake the crap out of this car so I figure they did ok.

Pros: Great performance, No fade issues, Very progressive feel
Part number: CERAMIC 5.0

Love the pads, don't like the squealing at times, but for a high torque pad it's really good. They have the same feeling at Hawk DTC's which I use on track, but have that strong bite at a MUCH lower temp. than the DTC's do.

Pros: strong bite, high torque
Cons: squealing at times

I just replaced my OEM pads with Hawk HPS5.0 pads and slotted StopTech rotors. Slightly more dust than the OEM ceramic pads but they do a good job.

Pros: do a good job
Cons: slightly more dust
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have hawk HPS on mine. Dust wise they arent too bad. But I wouldnt mind something cleaner. They do the same thing and hang over the inner edge a bit.

Pros: not too bad dust wise
Cons: hang over inner edge

I would stay away from Hawk pads. I've never had good luck with them... terrible feel when cold, poor lifespan and even had two sets start chunking and coming off backing plate.

Cons: terrible feel, poor lifespan
