They feel amazing and the braking power is noticeably increased but they create an incredible amount of corrosive dust and make a really terrible high pitched noise on occasion under light braking.
Pros: amazing feel, increased power
Cons: corrosive dust, high pitched noise
Hawk DTC-60 pads are the best value performance pads I found. Stock blank rotors are fine, I upgraded to a 335i sport caliper set and its been more than sufficient for many track days
Pros: best value, more than sufficient

EBC for occasional track and daily pad. HAWK DCT60 is what I’m running. Stops so good!!
Pros: stops very well
I ran hawk hp+ pads last year before starting my first track season ever. After 7-8 track days, driving to and from track, and the occasional fun drive on the street. About 10k miles later, I swapped them for fresh hp+ pads for this year. Comparing the old vs fresh pads, I used about 50% of the pad.
Pros: 50% pad life after 10k miles
Mileage: 10000 km

Loved my hawk track pads in the front on power stop rotors. I tried the EBC as well but only had them for a few thousand miles before I traded it in.
Pros: loved hawk pads
Cons: EBC pads short-lived

I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.
Pros: amazing bite, long lasting
Cons: expensive, wears quick
