Stock pads were driving me insane so I switched to ceramic Hawks. I don't track my car and the noise is gone so I'm happy with them. I don't have to clean the car that often either since the dust is minimal.
With those rotors, Hawk HPS+ pads, ATE Typ200 fluid, and TyrolSport caliper stiffening bushings, the thing stops very well for DD use. Still gonna fade hard after a relatively short while though.
Like others, I too run Zimmerman blank Z coats on both vehicles, EBC Red pads on the Beetle & Hawk 5.0 on the Tig.
I use Hawk HP5 pads and love them. Feels like stock.
New brake pads and rotors, front and rear. Rebuilt brake calipers. Hawk and OEM parts.
I got Hawk HPS pads recently on my 987.2 Cayman and they definitely have less dust and equal or better braking power.
Also the Hawk 5.0 pads are GREAT.. squeak a bit, but they are a high torque ceramic pad which have great bite. They dust like crazy.
Bought Audi S3 caliper from a wreck yard on eBay. Also used Hawk 5.0 pads. Tremendous brake upgrade.
They are absolutely not track pads. They fill this awkward in-between in which they have the coefficient of friction and modulation of good aggressive street pads but also dust and make tons of noise in street usage.
Hawk DTC-60 are known for tearing apart rotors. I went through 2 sets of OEM rotors on my m2 running Endless MS35 pads and I got the same grooving both times. Luckily without the vibration and shaking.
