Brake pads Ferodo or Hawk Performance
Pads (Ferodo ds1.11 is what i started out with)
I would stick to oem or hawk pads.
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.
I switched to Ferodo DS2500 earlier this year and like them a little more.
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.
Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.
You absolutely do not want DTC70s on street. They will devour your rotors and vice versa.
