STOPTECH Brake pads

  • Dust:
Rating 4.5

For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.

Pros: great modulation, acceptable temps
Cons: lots of dust

Just switched from Stoptech street pads + stoptech drilled and slotted rotors to zimmerman cross drilled rotors with hawk hps5.0 pads. Must say I like my Zimmerman + Hawk setup a lot.

Pros: good setup
Vehicle: Audi S4

I have been running Hawk HPS 5.0 front and back since my 2019 Stinger GT. Put them on my G70 within the first 500 miles to save the rotors. They do squeak a bit, but they stop without fail and after 35k on my Stinger, never once did I get any vibration on braking.

Pros: reliable stopping, no vibration
Cons: squeaking noise
Mileage: 35000 km

Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.

Pros: good for spirited driving
Vehicle: Mazda 5

Get some Hawk HP+ pads and you’ll restore the balance.

They’re noisy and nasty and will ruin the wheel finish, but they grab hard.

Pros: hard grab, restores balance
Cons: noisy, nasty, ruins finish

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I ran Hawk DTC60's for one event. They dust like crazy which isn't the end of the world by itself, but if the dust touches any moisture at all (like the rainy track day) it mixes into what I can only describe as ferrous concrete. So not only is the dust-crete impossible to remove by any normal means, it then rusts like crazy, turning whatever wheels you have into a runny orange mess. I tried multiple different wheel cleaners, multiple brushes, soaking, anything and nothing could get it off. I had to use scotch brite and scuff the hell out of the wheels to get it off. Fortunately I run cheap TRM wheels and it's a track-only car otherwise I would have been livid.

Cons: extreme dust, hard to remove
