Brake pads OEM Porsche or Hawk Performance

I found the GT3’s brakes to be very easy to modulate. They bite very quickly for carbon ceramics and give you the impression that they could bail you out of most situations. Since the GT3 feels so damn planted, braking also feels like a total non-event. You don’t feel the weight shifting forward in a dramatic fashion or anything like that, brake engagement feels very immediate.

I would stick to oem or hawk pads.

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.

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

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

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