I am stock turbo FBO (engine wise) FiST, switched from Powerstop Trac Day Spec to Hawk DTC-60 with good results.
Brake pads - $90 for parts
I’m a big fan of how my brakes feel after upgrading to the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, Bosch solid rotors (drilled/slotted do more harm than good), and some Goodrich Stainless Braided Brake lines.
Front - OEM rotors, check Lexus parts too, same same, with Hawk Heavy Duty pads. Rear - Centric or OEM rotors and oem pads. Fluid - Pentosin DOT 4 Low Viscosity brake fluid. Full fluid change every brake job.
Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads, Motul 5.1 fluid. Initial bite is as good as if not better than stock, but they seem to get much stronger with some heat in them. Biggest plus is the massive decrease in brake dust.
Hawk hps 5.0 and blank Zimmerman rotors
I had this symptom as well 2 months ago because my brake pads were worn out. The rotors was fine so only had to replace the brake pad and the braking vibrations went as well.
Whole setup feels really damn good.
I’ve got StopTech st-40’s and run Hawk HP+ pads. They have good bite and hold up pretty well, they’re just SUPER loud until they’re hot and are also fairly dusty
I did two track days on these new hawk hp+ brake pads and Zimmerman rotors. After the first track day, something weird started happening: I started hearing the squealing that I hear while breaking even when I’m not breaking. It’s not constant, but it’s coming from all four wheels and is mostly heard at low speeds, especially after starting to drive after coming to a complete stop. These are two track days in. Should I be worried?
