I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all my Audis.
Loved my hawk track pads in the front on power stop rotors. I tried the EBC as well but only had them for a few thousand miles before I traded it in.
Hawk HPS Brake Pads (MK6 Golf GTI) $50 * NIB Hawk HPS Brake Pads Hawk 'Performance Street' Brake Pads: *High Performance Street 5.0 ('B' Compound Code)*The new High Performance Street 5.0 Pads are a Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads that provide advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience.
I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.
Hawk HPS 5.0 pads
Can’t say anything bad about the Hawk brake pads. I have HPD 5.0’s and they stop great and dust very little.
I aswell have an evo 9 with the same tires and similar weight. I run hawk dtc 70s in the front and dtc 60s in the rear. If you do not mind swapping pads before the events I love these pads. They will make a lot of noise driving around town tho. I get about 8 to 10 days out of a set of front pads and about 2 to 3 seasons out of a set of rears.
I have hawk dtc-60. They are cheaper than most race pads, but not super long lasting. No problems with them on the street. They dust like crazy though and the you don't want to leave the dust on wheels you care about. Make sure you wash the wheels when you get home from track.
I was very very happy with the Hawks setup... but I did run into some fade in aggressive downhill run, which could have been the pads or the fluid.
I used these for a track day and the dust melted/hardened onto my wheels and spent days scrubbing with different wheel cleaners and chiseling it off.
