Brake pads TRW or Hawk Performance

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.

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.

I was overheating mine and switched to Hawk HPS 5.0. I’ve only run them in the street so far but they fit that role fine.

I use Hawk 5.0 with centric 120’rotors. Minimal dust, no noise. Cold performance friendly but enough room in the temp range. So I can beat on it at auto X but still Street friendly.

happy w trw ultra

I’ve been using trw ultra no dust,no sound and they stop real quick

I would post up in some E90-specific forums and see if you can get some feedback there, or at least piston measurements to compare to your stock brakes.Like others have said, the biggest thing you're looking for is to not effect your brake bias.All this said, don't let this hold you back from getting some more seat time. Throw in some fresh fluid, maybe get the HT-10s (which I've had good luck with on track personally), and get some more days under you before spending money on mods.

I have a 2015 Sequoia and I use Hawk LTS pads with Stop Tech Sport slotted rotors. A bit more $$ but it’s your brakes, it’s worth it.

I've also had the Hawk HPS, another popular pad, but this has less bite and actually takes some leg work to really get them working IMO. I didn't like the feel.

Yeah wish I knew this before I put them on this weekend. Brand new wheels lol. I’ve been wiping them down every night
