Brake pads Hawk Performance or GALFER
Hawk HPS brake pads are good to go with for daily driving.
For Shimano Ultegra/Dura Ace
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 threw a set of Galfer pads in mine and have been happy.
Using hawk ceramic on mine. Seem alright for the street use I do. Way less dust than OEM.
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.
Hawk 5.0 can be *okay* if you aren't pushing to hard yet but theyre going to be a limitation.
Hawk HPS5 is ceramic and not good. The Akebonos also blow.
I get less than one race out of Hawk Blue. Had to replace at around 28 hours.
