They don't even squeal as much any more
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
EBC for occasional track and daily pad. HAWK DCT60 is what I’m running. Stops so good!!
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.
I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all my Audis.
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.
Hawk HPS Brake Pads (MK6 Golf GTI) $50 * NIB Hawk HPS Brake Pads Hawk 'Performance Street' Brake Pads: *High Performance Street 5.0 ('B' Compound Code)*The new High Performance Street 5.0 Pads are a Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads that provide advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience.
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.
Get some Hawk HP+ pads and you’ll restore the balance.
They’re noisy and nasty and will ruin the wheel finish, but they grab hard.
Has anyone else experienced crazy dust from their Hawk HP+ pads? These wheels were clean at the start of the day, and what you see above is after 6 47 second runs.Advertised as low dust, I find it hard to imagine this is what they mean by that. Under hard braking, you can literally taste the dust in your mouth, and the car had a thin film over it. I reached out to Hawk 9 days ago asking for some clarification but have been disappointed not to hear back from them at all. Not impressed with the customer service, nor with the brake pads. They bite great, but the amount of dust im getting is insane.
