My latest setup is below and works well for the handful of HPDE’s I’ll do each year. Fronts: Hawk DTC-60 pads
I'm running Hawk HPS pads with Raybestos Professional grade rotors. Got 5 years out of my first set, at 6 years now on the current set.
I have Hawk HPS pads and they work great on the street and produce way less dust than stock pads.
I ran the Hawk HP+, and had no complaints. Never did a whole lot of hard driving, but they held up in short bursts and were good for daily driving.
I’m a fan of the Hawk HP+ track pads! The bite and fade resistance is excellent. They’re a little squeaky on the street but not terrible.
For last Autox season I used the factory calipers. Hawk blue pads, motul brake fluid. Had no issues at all.
Had this on our Ford Kuga £860. Did it myself although I already have all the tools for £280 all round.
I autocross a bit and went with Hawk rotors and pads from Tirerack after a bit of mulling it over. Overall fairly happy with them, a little dusty but have NEVER faded while on them hard. Put maybe a hard 5k miles on them so far.
edit- I do have a 1.8 and as mentioned at least once you should consider getting the 1.8's calipers.
I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again
Garbage pads. They're like a damn on/off switch and they chew through rotors.
