Brake pads DIXCEL or Hawk Performance
Hawk 5.0 street. Very nice stoppers they make.
Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.
I use hawk ceramic compound strictly for the low dust. I autocross several times a year, which is way different than a day of 20 minute hot lap sessions, but I have noticed no discernible difference in performance. Just exponentially less dust on my rims.
I have 150+k on my MK7.5 GTi. I’ve run Hawk pads and rotors since the OEM brakes came off. They are great. Fronts are slotted and drilled, rears are slotted, no noise, brake dust isn’t bad.
Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.
Hawk Performance PC, they work very well and hardly any dust. Just a little squeaky when cold tho.
I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.
Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.
Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.
Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.
