They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
I'm running Hawk HPS pads with Raybestos Professional grade rotors. Got 5 years out of my first set, at 6 years now on the current set.
I have Hawk HPS pads and they work great on the street and produce way less dust than stock pads.
I ran the Hawk HP+, and had no complaints. Never did a whole lot of hard driving, but they held up in short bursts and were good for daily driving.
I’m a fan of the Hawk HP+ track pads! The bite and fade resistance is excellent. They’re a little squeaky on the street but not terrible.
For last Autox season I used the factory calipers. Hawk blue pads, motul brake fluid. Had no issues at all.
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
I was leaning toward trying Hawk HPS pad for the GSW, but I first put them on my Focus ST and while I'm satisfied with the performance, I'm disappointed in the noise level; I have a squeak that I cannot eliminate, even after taking them off, re-bedding, and meticulously applying brake grease in the right spots.
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.
Garbage pads. They're like a damn on/off switch and they chew through rotors.
