For me, these were the Hawk HPS 5.0 and G-Loc R12 pads.
This time, I had some Hawk 5.0 brake pads and Motul 600 brake fluid installed. The better pads, and especially the high-temp brake fluid have me peace-of-mind so I could focus on the business of driving and continuing to learn the track and the car. Made a HUGE difference.
I have the Hawk HPS Street pads on the front and rear of my 2012 tC which are paired with Stoptech slotted rotors and I love them. They bite really well after they warm up a little but if you need to stop fast they will perform very well.
Hawk hps brake pads, best bang for buck, imo. I would replace the rotors if they are starting to develop a lip at the edge of the rotor. So by looking or feeling the rotor when it’s cold or you haven’t driven it for a while. Again test when cold, never hot. If they do need replacing you can check out ECS tuning and they usually have a brake pad + brake rotor combo deal, I believe it’s under their maintenance or performance section on their page, also filter out using your car make and model. If you’re strap on cash then you can check out Chris fix on YouTube and he has plenty of DIY videos on how to install. Good luck! I bought the drilled slotted and hawk pads combo from ecs and have them on my car now. Definitely improves the brake pedal feel tremendously, would recommend.
Hawk HPS Pads
Hawk HPS 5.0 Pads + Stoptech cryo-treated rotors - done as part of a total brake rebuild; slightly more bitey than stock, just how I like it.
At ~94k on ours now...we've replaced all brake pads (hawk 5.0)...
One of the best upgrades is knowing my brakes will stop when I need them to, the Brembos are overkill but I got them for a great price. The brake pads alone would've made a huge difference.
I have installed Porsche calipers 996.352.425/6 calipers on the front of my MK1 TT with stock sized 12.3" discs with Hawk HPS pads and SS lines.
460€ per il primo tagliando della mia Audi Q2, poi dopo aver pagato anche il secondo e avendo saputo che mi volevano cambiare le pastiglie dei freni dicendo che erano finite quando in realtà portandola dal mio gommista e guardando risultavano a metà della loro vita ho capito che 3/4 delle spese messe in carico in un tagliando al concessionario Audi ufficiale sono soldi rubati, ti cambiano pezzi che non servono solo per alzare il totale..
