Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.
Pros: good 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.
Pros: low dust, good performance

Porsche
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.
Pros: no noise, low dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 150000 km
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.
Pros: none
Cons: louder slide
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.
Pros: less dust than OEM
Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.
Pros: work very well, hardly dust
Cons: squeaky when cold
Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.
I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0
After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.
Pros: less dust, oem feel
Vehicle:
Toyota Supra
