Very quiet, very good bite and feel. Probably the best brake pad I've used.
cross off the 2500's i love mine but if don't clean my wheels once a week it looks like i haven't touched em in 6 months.
Currently running Ferodo pads which I prefer to the Mintex Redbox pads.
What I did notice is that the brakes performed better when doing repeated stops which is related to their heat dissispation.
The most economical upgrade for street use is just beefy pads. Try Ferodo DS2500 on the front axle with your OEM 11.3" rotors combined with Hawk HPS on the rears.
Ive been running ferodo 2500s and motul rbf600 fluid and have never had them fade.
I liked the ferodo street pad a lot. I got mine used from potterman when I bought the brakes from his one lap car. They had great initial bite and did farely well on track. They would start to get overworked towards the end of a session but they are street pads. They dust a lot just like the 2500s.
I run audio TT front rotors (12.3 instead of 11.3), aggressive pads (ferodo DS2500) and racing brake fluid (motul rbf 600) and even on the track where you have to do some high speed stops (125-45) I havent really seen much brake fade.
I'm running the same setup as you (Ferodo DS2500/Hawk HPS with ATE Super Blue) and also notice some mild fade after 6-8 laps. I also get a mushy pedal which persists after the brakes completely cool, meaning I'm probably getting some fluid boiling and need to bleed them out.
I swapped out the rear pads on my 2017 Mk7 Golf R following the instructions for doing so with OBD Eleven Pro to a "t" and still wound up with a plethora of error codes. I installed new (Ferrodo) pads
