Brake pads Zimmermann or Hawk Performance

Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.

Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.

I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.

I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.

I have 150+k on my MK7.5 GTi. I’ve run Hawk pads and rotors since the OEM brakes came off. They are great. Fronts are slotted and drilled, rears are slotted, no noise, brake dust isn’t bad.

Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.

Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.

I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.
