Front - OEM rotors, check Lexus parts too, same same, with Hawk Heavy Duty pads. Rear - Centric or OEM rotors and oem pads. Fluid - Pentosin DOT 4 Low Viscosity brake fluid. Full fluid change every brake job.
I went with Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been great!
Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads, Motul 5.1 fluid. Initial bite is as good as if not better than stock, but they seem to get much stronger with some heat in them. Biggest plus is the massive decrease in brake dust.
Hawk hps 5.0 and blank Zimmerman rotors
Whole setup feels really damn good.
They're quite a good combo. I glazed them doing too much drifting in the snow, but fixed with a bench grinder and they're as good as day 1.
Hawk Blues are the best I’ve driven on a street driven 930 being used on the track. Thousands of laps with different compounds. Or HPS+ if you’re not that aggressive.
I use Hawk Blues on-track and street pads off. Pads are so easy to change on our cars that it is only a 30 minute job to swap before each track day once you have some practice. The Blues are very abrasive and will clean any bedding material off the rotor if you just lightly ride the brakes for a few minutes while the pads are cold. The Blues have plenty of stopping power when cold on the street, but squeal a lot and eat through rotors very quickly. On-track they have been fade-free for me with excellent modulation using ATE TYP200 brake fluid.
I recently did the Hawk 5.0 pads and they are lacking on initial bite. Bit disappointing. Much better for repeated breaking tho, as they warm up.
Should’ve gone with EBC! Tried Hawk hps blues and could not go more than 500 miles before taking them off and replacing them with EBC yellows again. The noise was horrible.
