I went with hawk 5.0 pads, they dust wayyyyy less than stock. Bite and stopping power feels just as good.
I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.
I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.
I was overheating mine and switched to Hawk HPS 5.0. I’ve only run them in the street so far but they fit that role fine.
I use Hawk 5.0 with centric 120’rotors. Minimal dust, no noise. Cold performance friendly but enough room in the temp range. So I can beat on it at auto X but still Street friendly.
I would post up in some E90-specific forums and see if you can get some feedback there, or at least piston measurements to compare to your stock brakes.Like others have said, the biggest thing you're looking for is to not effect your brake bias.All this said, don't let this hold you back from getting some more seat time. Throw in some fresh fluid, maybe get the HT-10s (which I've had good luck with on track personally), and get some more days under you before spending money on mods.
I use bendix on my truck and love it. I figure if they make good pads for the big rigs I work on, why not run them on my truck?
I see no one mentioning bendix, they’re the only brand I’ve run on my 2010 Holden Colorado and work exceptionally well
Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.
Toyota wigo 2018, Nagpareplace kasi ako ng brake pads (bendix) tsaka nagpa rotor resurface na rin sa isang Shell service center. Tapos when I brake at certain speeds (around 20km/h or more tapos saktong diin lang yung braking), merong knocking noise or thumping noise.
