Brake pads OEM Volvo or Hawk Performance

OEM Volvo Brake pads

They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).

For the account info:

The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.

Pros: excellent service
Cons: multiple coupons issue
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I run Hawk HPS 5.0 they are good but we're spongy even after the recommended break in. I ended up doing a run and intentionally abusing the brakes to get them good and hot to the point that they faded. After that, they were great.

Pros: great after break in
Cons: spongy initially
Vehicle: Honda

I haven’t heard of fake brake pads but be careful. The main reason I’m commenting is HP+ pads might be good for autox but if you have experience on track, I’d avoid. Granted, my experience using them was on a 2015 WRX but you can overheat the pads pretty quickly on a heavy braking circuit.

Cons: overheat quickly
Vehicle: Subaru

That's normal for those. I have been through 3 or 4 sets now and to be honest, I think I'm done. After COVID they just seem to be very unpredictable. I've my last set did some weird stuff sometimes and my current set feels like it needs way more temp then it should. When I did a track day and put dtc60s on it, they gripped immediately on a cold stop where the HP+ felt like it needed some use. None of the other pairs have felt that way. The noise is also totally random now, the first couple sets would be loud unless they had heat, but the new ones are a lot quieter and sometimes loud.

Cons: unpredictable, inconsistent, noisy
