I use Hawk 5.0 pads front and rear for autocross. if you want a more aggressive pad that's still street-able, I'd recommend those.
I was using dtc 60s for the last half of last year and they lived up great through 7 days of tracking (8mm/5mm remaining rear/front), however the aggressive bite has a learning curve and is prone to ice pedal on my car. I'm switching to their ERS-1 pad this year and expecting them to last even longer.
I’m currently running Hawk HP+ on all 4 corners. I love how the pads feel and hold up- I don’t mind the noise but the dust is so so bad.
I recently got the dynamic friction rotors and pad kit to replace the oem rears and I like them so far. It’s only been about 500 miles, but in my opinion are a little better at stopping compared to the oem. Plus the price was really good.
Duralast stuff is fine. Their pads are fine. Their pads also have a lifetime warranty through AutoZone.
I used hawk pads a few years ago on my F150 and even though they were advertised as dust free, they put off some of the worst dust ever even after following the break in instructions. Nowadays, I am a huge Element3 fan boy. All the family vehicles have em and I have no complaints.
I love hawk pads and raybestos Element3 rotors
Hawk hp+ and a small car duster, they are dusty. You loose some initial bite but the more you dig in the better they work.
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.
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.
