Just replaced my PP pads & rotors. Hawk HPS & EBC RedStuff are both decent ceramic pad options. Shopped around quite a bit and never had the Brembos recommended. I went with Zimmerman blank rotors & Hawk HPS pads. No complaints + expecting less dust!

Pros: less dust, no complaints

I was pretty unhappy with the short life span/brake dust of the stock rotors/pads, so when it was time to change them I went with: Centric Cryo-Treated rotors, Hawk HP Street 5.0 pads. I got what I was looking for in terms of improvements to longevity and brake dust, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the bite of the stock setup.

Pros: improved longevity, less brake dust
Cons: missed stock bite
Vehicle: Ford Fiesta

Centric high-carbon rotors and Hawk HP Street 5.0s. Less initial bite than the OEM pads, but more stopping force with higher pedal pressures and much less dust.

Pros: more stopping force, much less dust
Cons: less initial bite

Hawk Performance Brake pads

For pads I'm having pretty good success with the new Hawk Ceramic 5.0. I run those on my GLI(with Golf R calipers/brakes) and on the .:R. I was surprised for light track duty they were ok on both cars. Not a full on track pad to be clear. They are also a high torque pad so they have really good bite.

Pros: high torque, good bite
Cons: not for full track
Vehicle: Volkswagen

You will find the HP+ pads are possibly the worst pads ever. You get all the downsides of track pads and street pads. The dust from Hawks will also eat your wheels.

Cons: worst pads ever, excessive dust
