I run stop tech rotors/hawk HP plus pads/motul high temp/and goodrich SS lines on my m coupe and that’s also a great, much less expensive set up.
Pros: great, less expensive
refresh brakes with Hawk HPS 5.0 and restore look of the calipers

Volkswagen Golf
I replaced my OEMs with Hawk HPS 5.0s. Very similar feel to the stock pads without that initial hard bite. Less dust as well.
Pros: less dust, similar feel
Cons: no hard bite
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.
Pros: held up well, better than stock
Cons: overheat

I'm not happy with HPS 5.0 on my M3- I'm probably going to switch back to "regular" Hawk HPS, as they have worked for me on quite a few cars.
Pros: worked on many cars
Cons: not happy with performance
Vehicle:
BMW
The M240i needed new pads and rotors. I order HPS 5.0 + Zimmerman rotors from FCP's site which says they're compatible. I install them and the car sounds like a jalopy. Loud wub wub wub under braking and only braking, more pressure == more loud. It sounds like it's coming from both fronts.
Cons: loud wub wub wub

Hawk DTC-60 are known for tearing apart rotors. I went through 2 sets of OEM rotors on my m2 running Endless MS35 pads and I got the same grooving both times. Luckily without the vibration and shaking.
Cons: tearing apart rotors

I’ve got StopTech st-40’s and run Hawk HP+ pads. They have good bite and hold up pretty well, they’re just SUPER loud until they’re hot and are also fairly dusty
Pros: good bite, holds up well
Cons: super loud, dusty
I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.
Pros: happy, fits needs well
