Brake pads Bosch or Hawk Performance
I just installed the BC1846 Bosch pads on the rear of my CX5 - work great soo far.
I've used Bosch pads and rotors and they were fantastic. Fixed the brake squeal in my cx-5.
Bosch pads and rotors have been nice.
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.
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.
I was using dtc 60s for the last half of last year and they lived up great through 7 days of tracking (8mm/5mm remaining rear/front), however the aggressive bite has a learning curve and is prone to ice pedal on my car. I'm switching to their ERS-1 pad this year and expecting them to last even longer.
I’ve used them for brake pads, rotors, and spark plugs. I haven’t had a problem with them.
Had one in 2012. A cba 2009. Blew transmission. Covered under warranty. They put in a DBA transmission and bellhousing. Had full bolt ons and the car was fun. Ran mid 10\u2019s at over 130 mph. Stock brakes sucked. I upgraded to J hook rotors and I think hawk pads.
I run Hawk HPS 5.0 they are good but we're spongy even after the recommended break in. I ended up doing a run and intentionally abusing the brakes to get them good and hot to the point that they faded. After that, they were great.
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.
