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.
Then replace the pads with Hawk performance ceramic pads.
I like the Ferodo DS2500 for street/canyons, tho I find they’re pretty dusty.
If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G
DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).
With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.
Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).
Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.
I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0
After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.
Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.
I have used HPS 5.0 for a long time now. They do dust a decent amount.
Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.
