Brake pads Textar or Hawk Performance

Textar Brake pads

What brake pad does work but they dust a lot seems to be Textar. Not many comebacks except that the clients complain that they are dirty.

Pros: works well
Cons: clients complain dirty

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.

Pros: held up well, better than stock
Cons: overheat
Vehicle: Subaru BRZ

I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.

Pros: no heat needed, quiet
Cons: some dusting

I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.

Pros: held up to track days
Cons: lots of dust

I've used hawk hp+ all last year and my first event of this year; they do serve as a pretty good intermediate pad, if I were you I'd go after something similar to it or slightly more track-oriented, but as I understand it the "HPS" pads are not designed for track use, more of just a capable street pad. The HP+ feel great for street driving, but be aware that they do create a fuckton of dust, and oftentimes they squeal like a school bus as you come to a stop. On track, I'd say they do fine for a beginner. I tend to brake on the early side and not as hard as I could, it's an area where I could certainly improve. I have noticed some brake fade at my most recent event, and for that reason I will be installing some G-loc r8's tomorrow, with a backup set of R12's for the front.

Pros: good for street driving
Cons: lots of dust, squealing, brake fade
