I'd go for either Hawk HPS 5.0
I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.
TS gang here. Cost difference for the brakes was worth it.
After researching, I'm going to go for the Hawk HPS 5.0 next time I go to the track or wear my current ones down. From what I've read, it's a comparable to the oem feel, but produces less dust, which sounds really nice for my occasional trip to the track and for keeping my wheels clean.
The rotors I used are DBA 4000 series T3, and pads are HAWK HPS 5.0
Once your stock brake pads are toast as well I’d upgrade them to something like Hawk’s HPS 5 pads.
I have used HPS 5.0 for a long time now. They do dust a decent amount.
I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty
The stock brake pads leave much to be desired.
Only gripes I have about the VB are the shitty brakes.
