Brake pads Textar or Hawk Performance

Our shop we use Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Napa Euro ADO R90 are also really good for commuter cars.

Textar is a renowned brand for brake pads. I like em. Although weirdly, I find their aftermarket pads to be better than the pads they supply to OEs like BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.

Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads on all four corners. Not the first time I've used Hawks like these, but they feel pretty good so far. Using Motul 600 fluid.

I prefer Hawk Truck pads. Been using them on my tree for 20 years. Get good life out of them. Check pad wear. Mine squeak under light braking when dusty.

Hawk Street 5.0 have been better at stopping than stock, lasted over 25k miles with about 60% left, and have dramatically less dusting than stock.

I run stop tech rotors/hawk HP plus pads/motul high temp/and goodrich SS lines on my m coupe and that’s also a great, much less expensive set up.

refresh brakes with Hawk HPS 5.0 and restore look of the calipers

I replaced my OEMs with Hawk HPS 5.0s. Very similar feel to the stock pads without that initial hard bite. Less dust as well.

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.

I used these for a track day and the dust melted/hardened onto my wheels and spent days scrubbing with different wheel cleaners and chiseling it off.
