Hawk DTC 70 or 60 are great and not too expensive, plus they didn't squeel for me on the street.
Hawk 5.0 Street Pads, if u want to do a mix of street, spirited and track driving, I run them on my GR86, and no issue. Though they do squeel a bit when its cold out.
i run HP+ for track days, will be doing my 4th on them in a few weeks. they are plenty for my level of driving. i take them off after my track day because they are loud and filthy. but for on-track, they are perfect.
I have dtc-60 on mine. They’re great track pads, but overkill for your first track day. They’re comically squeaky if you use them around town and def not made for that.
I run the 60s in the front and stock in the rear. The 60s are a lot of braking power specially for your first time. I would not recommend the 70s that will be way too much. They are dusty but I'm at about 50% life on 5 track weekends. One weekend the car almost never shut off. If you are really using them make sure to give them a cool down lap or they will smoke.
I've been using EBC pads for a while now with a couple brands in between and EBC just seems to have some of the best bang-for-buck.
My use-case is daily driving and spirited weekend drives, so I can't comment on more aggressive or track use. I know some folks really don't like them for serious track cars so be mindful of that.
EBC pads are highly overrated for the price. Red stuff are pretty squealy and dust more than stock. Initial bite is about the same.
I’ve had these EBC blue stuff brake pads for 6k miles (2 track days) and they fronts are almost down to the metal. I expect them to go quick but this was a lot quicker than I had thought
I have had nothing but bad luck with EBC pads on numerous cars.
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.
