I prefer Hawk Truck pads. Been using them on my tree for 20 years. Get good life out of them. Check pad wear. Mine squeak under light braking when dusty.
Hawk Street 5.0 have been better at stopping than stock, lasted over 25k miles with about 60% left, and have dramatically less dusting than stock.
I run stop tech rotors/hawk HP plus pads/motul high temp/and goodrich SS lines on my m coupe and that’s also a great, much less expensive set up.
refresh brakes with Hawk HPS 5.0 and restore look of the calipers
I replaced my OEMs with Hawk HPS 5.0s. Very similar feel to the stock pads without that initial hard bite. Less dust as well.
I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.
I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.
Hawk ER1. They’re fantastic.
Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.
My wheel looked the same after an autocross day with my 2017 Mustang GT. I was daily driving these pads a couple years ago, and they nearly destroyed my wheel finish when I left the dust on too long (not to mention how incredibly noisy they were). It took multiple washes with iron remover and the wheels off the car to properly clean it all off.
