I use Hawk HPS 5.0 all around nice upgrade over oem.
Pros: nice upgrade
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.
Pros: great value, incredible braking
Cons: needs more heat initially
I have a set of track pads for my 2015 STI. Hawk dtc70 in the front. Hawk dtc60 in the rear. I swap them the the day before its a pretty quick job with the brembos. Very loud on the street when cold though.
Pros: quick swap, good track performance
Cons: loud when cold
Vehicle:
Subaru
Just put on new rotors and Hawk pads. Thought I had some squeaking/squealing/grinding because the old ones needed replacing but the problem persisted on the new rotors and pads even after some time.
Last week I applied some Brake Parts Grease that came with my Hawk pads to the pins and bracket on the caliper. It seems to have removed the annoying squeak!!
Pros: removed squeak with grease
Cons: squeaking/squealing/grinding
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
If your just daily driving the car, with some spirited back road runs, Hawk HPS 5.0 should do the trick. Low dust, low noise, good bite, and consistent performance.
Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite
I put hawk street 5.0 pads on mine a few months ago. They are good, def better than oem.
Pros: better than oem
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Hawk HPS pads are a massive performance improvement over stock pads, with a more linear break feel (aka less initial bite). low dust, low noise, highly reliable.
Pros: massive performance improvement, linear brake feel, low dust, low noise, highly reliable
Cons: less initial bite
Have Hawk Talon rear rotors. A bit more show than stopping grip . But they are decent for the semi aggressive lol
Pros: decent semi aggressive
Cons: more show than grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 110000 km
As good as they are I had to stop using them because of the dust. Ruined the clear coat on my rims. Also the noise when coming to a gentle stop
Cons: ruined clear coat, noisy
