slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM
centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
If you want upgraded pads. Try HAWK 5.0 pads. You can't go wrong with a better initial bit, better response and shorter stopping distance.
I ran Hawk HPS5.0 on my WRX for a while (with STI Brembos) and aftermarket rotors. They worked pretty well for dual purpose.
For street manners but still functional for autocross purposes I liked the Hawk HPS 5.0.
WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.
Hawk pads brake great but they will eat your rotors and they are some of the dustiest pads.
Used to use the DBA XP pads but they were far too dusty.
Happens to me as well on the track. The Hawk “ street performance” pads I used aren’t cutting it.
