Brake pads POWER STOP or Hawk Performance

My mk5 rabbit is on its 4th set of Powerstop pads in the rear since I swapped all four corners to their pads and rotors. The fronts will probably be changed this coming summer. They still have plenty of meat on them.

For very little money I also upgraded the brakes to StopTech slotted rotors, braided SS brake lines, and Hawk HP pads. Never had brake fade even at tracks like Road America with heavy high speed braking.

Powerstop z23, get them from Rockauto.

Power stops. I’ve had mine in there for well over 75k. Same pads and rotors the whole time.

I just replaced both pads and rotors at 100k with R1 Concepts rotors and power stop pads. Seems fine.

I'm running standard DBA 4000 blank rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. My only complaint is they seem to make a lot of brake dust so I'll probably try other pads when these wear through.

Did mine a couple months ago. They feel good and stop well. Decent price. No noise.. would do it again. The hardware wasnt great and ended up reusing the oem clips.

Power Stop Z26 pads and rotors. They dust much less than stock, have lower initial bite, which helps with heel/toe downshifts, but similar overall bite to stick pads. I wouldn't try a heavy track day on them, but they're great as a set for aggressive daily driving. I ran the Z23 pads on OEM discs for nine years and approximately 50k miles and they were fantastic. I just upgraded to the Z26 pads and swapped discs about 500 miles ago. Zero complaints.

Just put Zimmerman rotors and the Hawk Street pads on my non- PP gti. These pads unfortunately shift up and down and make a loud “clank” when braking on transition from 1st to reverse. They still bite great

You absolutely do not want DTC70s on street. They will devour your rotors and vice versa.
