Brake pads Raybestos or Hawk Performance

Once your stock brake pads are toast as well I’d upgrade them to something like Hawk’s HPS 5 pads.

hawk HPS 5.0 are great pads for daily and ‘spirited’ driving

If you want something good get raybestos have them in my 8th gen accord and they are above oem.

I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).

I installed Raybestos Element 3 on my wife\u2019s 2015 LT along with new Element 3 rotors. Better stopping power than the stock pads but a little more brake dust. The increased performance is worth it to me.

slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM

I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty

WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.

Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.

3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.
