Hawk HP+ if you want to spend a little bit more and get an impressive bite force even when cold. Also suitable for street and light track duty.
I went with Hawk 5.0 pads and Zimmerman rotors on my 340i. Very happy with them.
I just slapped EBC Red pads and cross drilled rotors on mine and called it a day. So far that's been serving me well.
I use Hawk 5.0 pads with R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted rotors, stops on a dime and cuts alot of speed when adjusting going into corners very predictable
I've got a 2022 Sport Prestiege 3.3T AWD with Brembos and was dealing with the rotor vibrations early on. Dealership swapped out under warranty, but you and I have similar driving styles so the vibrations were back in under 5k miles... After a ton of research I decided to purchase EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. Rotors were out of stock with no lead time so sales rep hooked me up with DBA rotors. Had some issues with the front pads clicking, but EBC gave me a new set under warranty and I love them! I'll echo what all reviews say about dusting though.... even the RedStuff dusts a lot; I'd honestly say there's a bronze dusting over my black wheels most of the time, but my car exterior is normally dirty anyway ????
I love the EBC RP-X, fantastic pads. I use those up front and the Bluestuff NDX compound out back. Great HPDE setup on my ~400hp/3350 pound station wagon.
I have them on a 1600lb race car, so maybe not comparable to a Camaro that weighs twice as much. They're almost too much braking for me, but I kinda prefer it that way. I can lock the slicks at 100mph without fully standing on the pedal. But they're also very easy to modulate. They don't need to be bedded in like normal pads; you just stab them a few times. They don't fade. I've only had them for 1 season, but there's hardly any wear. It looks like they might last me 3 seasons, maybe more.
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 ran Hawk DTC60's for one event. They dust like crazy which isn't the end of the world by itself, but if the dust touches any moisture at all (like the rainy track day) it mixes into what I can only describe as ferrous concrete. So not only is the dust-crete impossible to remove by any normal means, it then rusts like crazy, turning whatever wheels you have into a runny orange mess. I tried multiple different wheel cleaners, multiple brushes, soaking, anything and nothing could get it off. I had to use scotch brite and scuff the hell out of the wheels to get it off. Fortunately I run cheap TRM wheels and it's a track-only car otherwise I would have been livid.
Garbage pads. They're like a damn on/off switch and they chew through rotors.
