I have Powerslot Rotors. Hawk HP+ pads. SS brk lines.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Scirocco
I got the upgrade, it's definitely noticeable from the stock 11.3 in the 1.8ts and vr6s - but really, if you want best stop for budget, just upgrade the rotors to slotted for heat dissapation and some good ferodo pads... but if you do upgrade, you'll notice difference in stopping - as well as your acceleration since you have more rotaional mass at that point...
Pros: noticeable difference in stopping
Cons: more rotational mass
Well, I was talking abou OEM rotors with DS2500 pads, not OEM pads. I replaced the stock pads after 30k wich was reasonable but DS2500s have much higher friction coeff.
Pros: higher friction coeff
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 30000 km
Actually pretty good. Smooth step in, but really bite if pressed hard. I do have much more pedal now with the rears swapped out. I was suprised how thin they were!
Pros: Smooth step in, really bite
Cons: more pedal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I upgraded, I got the Hawk EPS pads from Tire Rack, (see the top photo). I have the Hawk EPS front and rear.
Pros: Hawk EPS front and rear
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have run HPS, HP+, DS2500, and P+. Blues are in another world entirely from HPS. HPS is a decent, not great, street pad. It isn't low dust, but it is firm and even friction. HP+ is more bitey, quite firm, squeals like a baby, and dusts like crazy.
Pros: firm and even friction
Cons: not a great street pad, isn't low dust
my HPS are now cooked after my track events. They're also getting noticeably more dusty, too. I'm going to be getting better pads before my next event. My last trip to Limerock, they were fading bad after only a lap. But, they held up for a long time before that.
Pros: held up for a long time
Cons: cooked after track events, getting more dusty, fading bad
