Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Chevrolet
I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).
brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)
slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM
centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
If you want upgraded pads. Try HAWK 5.0 pads. You can't go wrong with a better initial bit, better response and shorter stopping distance.
I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty
I use one pedal and mine get like that after rain etc. a little rust and glazing. I just use the brake pedal consistently and drive around the block.
1950 brakes weren't very good even when they were new.
I just got the blazer ev, and within a month the brakes (pedal, not actual brakes) start making noise every time I pushed on them and the wind noise increased.
