hawk HPS 5.0 are great pads for daily and ‘spirited’ driving
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).
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
The mid-engine handling is amazing out of the box and only needs brake pads and fluid to be happy at the track all day.
I bought a Boxster for 8k this year and have put 2.7k into fixing it up. Biggest expense was new brakes and rotors.
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
WRT the Hawk Pads… I’ve run both compounds and for a beginner you’re not going to notice the difference. They’re both good track pads. Do not run them on the street or if you do try to minimize the time you are on them and know you will have horrible stopping distance when cold.
Hawk pads brake great but they will eat your rotors and they are some of the dustiest pads.
I tried Hawk HP+ dual use but they were exactly as people warned. Worst of both worlds.
