Brake pads OEM Porsche or Hawk Performance

Porsche Cayenne (18Z) calipers in front w/ ML55 345mm rotors & Hawk HPS pads 034 Motorsport 300mm rotor conversion in rear w/ new calipers & Hawk HPS pads Braided stainless brake lines all around Brake fluid flushed and replaced with Motul RBF 600 ST coilovers (KW's entry-level brand)

I do really like the Hawk HPS pads. They cost a little more, but I think they are worth it.

I had the stoptech then switched over to Hawk HP Plus - best decision I've made. They're not exactly quiet but tolerable (in my opinion) - they bite awesomely though.

I would recommend Hawk HPS pads. They bite instantly, so they could be a little noisy if you don't grease the backs. They aren't great on dust, but you will always have a lot of brake dust due to the size of the brakes. The performance is probably the best available for non race applications. I have never experienced brake fade, but I do have a heavily modified brake system.

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

The hawk hps are great. The dust is really easy to clean. I argee the initial bite is not as good as stock. Do not use on the track i over heated them as well.

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.
