Hawk HPS brake pads
Vehicle:

Mileage: 10000 km
I like my Hawk HP Street 5.0 pads and both were purchased from TireRack and helped increase my stopping power.
Pros: increased stopping power
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
I am quite happy with Hawk HP+ on my NB.
Pros: quite happy
Hawk DTC 50 or 60 on front, DTC 10 on rear. Squeals for sure! Works great with cheap stock rotors and toyo RA-1 or RR... Its my daily (300k km) and now backup track car when weather is iffy
Pros: works great, good with stock rotors
Cons: squeals
Mileage: 300000 km
The brakes suck. Kind of makes me think they just need to be bled, or the ABS pump needs to be cycled and bled via OBD2 scanner. I ordered SS lines, Hawk pads, and fluid to fix it.
Cons: brakes suck

I have these, like others have said you can just get stock 33 GTR pads and rotors off of z1 if your in the states. I recommend if it’s in your budget DB5000(front)3000?(I think for rear) and some hawk ceramics,braided lines. It’s a huge difference from stock by upgrading whole system and depending on how much you drive it will last forever. I’m on like year 6 since upgrades and and the pads and hats are still in great shape
Pros: long lasting, great shape
Vehicle:
Nissan Skyline
I went with DBA T2 rotors with Hawk Ceramics. This was my first time trying hawk and I will never switch unless necessary. These have been by far the cleanest brake pads I've ever run. I've tried most other popular name brands and even off brand stuff.
Pros: cleanest pads, great performance
I use Hawk 5.0 pads front and rear for autocross. if you want a more aggressive pad that's still street-able, I'd recommend those.
Pros: aggressive, street-able
after about halfway through the second session I began to feel a fluttering under hard braking. Some light shaking of the steering wheel. No noticeable pulling left or right. No noticeable brake fade.
Fast forward to the next day. I noticed this black gunk on my front pads. The rears look good as new.
Under normal conditions my Hawk-30 pads squeak. Now I am noticing a rhythmic squeaking when I brake at street speeds.
Cons: fluttering under braking, steering wheel shaking, rhythmic squeaking, black gunk
Vehicle:
Toyota
