I use Hawk HP5 pads and love them. Feels like stock.
New brake pads and rotors, front and rear. Rebuilt brake calipers. Hawk and OEM parts.
I got Hawk HPS pads recently on my 987.2 Cayman and they definitely have less dust and equal or better braking power.
Also the Hawk 5.0 pads are GREAT.. squeak a bit, but they are a high torque ceramic pad which have great bite. They dust like crazy.
Bought Audi S3 caliper from a wreck yard on eBay. Also used Hawk 5.0 pads. Tremendous brake upgrade.
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.
Driving the Golf R made me not buy it. I have a 2009 MKV TSI base model 6mt with APR Stg 2 (intake, chip, downpipe) upgraded stock brakes (hawk HPS, ss lines, dot 4 fluid), KW V3 coilovers (both rebound and compression adjustable) and it was faster, handled better and braked similarly to the Golf R.
easy 40 minute job to replace brakes on my 14 Mazda 3 took about two hours. It all pops off super easy going great. Go to put them on, well shit they don't fit. Try the other side for some reason thinking I'm just having a stupid moment. Doesn't work either.
