Brake pads OEM Volvo or Hawk Performance

I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.

Hawk ER1. They’re fantastic.

I went with hawk 5.0 pads, they dust wayyyyy less than stock. Bite and stopping power feels just as good.

I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.

I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.

I was overheating mine and switched to Hawk HPS 5.0. I’ve only run them in the street so far but they fit that role fine.

I use Hawk 5.0 with centric 120’rotors. Minimal dust, no noise. Cold performance friendly but enough room in the temp range. So I can beat on it at auto X but still Street friendly.

I've also had the Hawk HPS, another popular pad, but this has less bite and actually takes some leg work to really get them working IMO. I didn't like the feel.

Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.

I have a 2019 XC40 and kept having brake issues - they ended up replacing the pads and rotors… at less than 15k miles. I continue to have issues (now it’s nothing serious, just a very loud obnoxious squeal)
