Brake pads POWER STOP or Hawk Performance

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I run hawk 5.0 pads (i used to use ebc yellow but theres been reports of ebc pads delaminating so i stopped using ebc)

I use the centric premium coated blanks & change rotors every time I change pads.

For fluid I use ate200

I swapped out the hoses for braided ss hoses.

Pros: good performance
Cons: EBC delamination reports
Vehicle: Honda

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I currently use Hawk DTC60’s on my Scion FRS with Motul RBF600 fluid for track days. The brakes feel great to me, I like the bite, and they don’t fade even on multi day events.

Pros: great feel, good bite, no fade
Cons: expensive

POWER STOP Brake pads

For the price and quality I like PowerStop pads and rotors. Their carbon cermic pads and I opt for the drilled and slotted rotors. Had them on my truck and towed 10,000lbs. Have them on my wife's CX5.

Pros: good price, good quality
Vehicle: Mazda

I've been very happy with them on the street. I hardly ever notice dust. When it's cold they sometimes squeak getting out of the driveway, but never more.

Pros: happy with performance, low dust
Cons: squeak when cold
Vehicle: BMW
Part number: Z23-1609

Just switched to dba t2 w Hawk ceramics (combo set from new provisions racing) w factory calipers and lines.

I’d been considering brembo swap, but money had to be reallocated, so I abandoned full upgrade dreams. Old rotors were warped and pads were a dusty mess, so pretty much anything was an improvement.

Hawks are quiet, super-smooth/consistent engagement when I step on pedal, and minimal dust. Definitely happy w decision.

Pros: quiet, smooth engagement, minimal dust

I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.

Pros: leaps and bounds better
Cons: boiled DOT3 fluid

Bought a set of Powerstop pads and rotors for my Avalon. Every single pad had paint on the edge that prevent the pad from sliding smoothly. Ended up sanding the edges of all 8 pads before I could install them. The rotors warped in 20k miles on the front, and 1 of the pads cracked...

Pros: none
Cons: paint on edges, warped rotors, cracked pad
Mileage: 20000 km
