Brake pads Raybestos or Hawk Performance

I put hawk street 5.0 pads on mine a few months ago. They are good, def better than oem.

Hawk HPS pads are a massive performance improvement over stock pads, with a more linear break feel (aka less initial bite). low dust, low noise, highly reliable.

You got this. Just did the brakes on my wagon myself for the first time and it was breeze. Rock auto had a really good deal on raybestos brakes when I did mine. Worked amazing

I have the Hawk HPS and they're a little less initially bitey but seem to stop just as well when I put the brakes on, which is nice for a daily.

I’ve had Powerstop Z36 Impression: just average

Hawk LTS. Impression: very good

Raybestos Element 3. Impression: similar to OEM

Now I run Raybestos “Truck & Medium Duty” front & rear. They’re very good: low dust, low noise, good performance & pedal feel.

My favorite autocross pad is Hawk HP+, but they dust like crazy and some sets are extremely squeaky for some reason. But they are mad consistent in all temps (except track where they fade at high speeds like any street pad) and the bite is absolutely fantastic and easy to modulate.

I've been using Hawk 5.0 They're marketed as a "high performance street" pad. I've done track days with them and theyve held up but they're "street" enough that they don't take forever to get warm. Maybe it's my lack of experience with other pads but they are kinda dusty.

Always had good luck in the past with Hawk HPS pads.

I was very very happy with the Hawks setup... but I did run into some fade in aggressive downhill run, which could have been the pads or the fluid.

Complete ripoff. Subaru tried that years ago on my STI, I bought Hawk track pads and did it myself (as I would have done anyway). The dealer tried the ol' "These are high end calipers and the pads are much more difficult to change". I just said "Please stop lying to me, you're eroding trust between us" and left. Easiest brakes ever.
