Been on Hawk HPS 5.0 for over a year now. Good feeling pad.
I went with hps 5.0s and they’re great but I should’ve gone less aggressive
Duralast gold ceramic. No issues at all
Duralast Gold pads are awesome at little to no brake dust
I run Hawk HPS 5.0 on the street and just pad slap DTC-60 / 30 front / rear and it works fine.
The racing shop that does the work on my track car picked out Hawk HPS 5.0 pads for me for this same purpose. They worked great on the track and don't have much more noise than a factory pad.
I'm only in HPDE2, though, so my track evaluation may not mean much. They were definitely an improvement over the stock pads I used in the previous track outing.
The dynamic friction geocoated rotors and pads just went onto my 07 liberty and they were easy and feel great, no noise. Hopefully they will actually prevent getting as rusty as my last ones, as I live in the PNW and rust is EVERYWHERE.
I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.
You could look at Hawk Enduro pads and see if they last longer but you'll probably net less braking power so you'll need to recalibrate your markers a bit. 3100lbs and 300hp - dtc60s last me 8-11 track days (though one of my local tracks is easy on brakes) based on my experience last year running in advanced groups - including multiple open sessions with 30-50m long runs.
I changed out the oem and ran Hawks for a while, braking distance wan't much difference but the brake dust was terrible, Rims where dirty all of the time.
