Brake pads OEM Volvo or Hawk Performance
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.
What bloody manufacturer is this? For my Volvo XC60 it’s around £330 for front discs and pads main dealer
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 run hawk hps pads on my NA. They've held up to entry level track work and not made much noise on the street. Feel fine when I choose to drive the Miata to work.
Just switched from Stoptech street pads + stoptech drilled and slotted rotors to zimmerman cross drilled rotors with hawk hps5.0 pads. Must say I like my Zimmerman + Hawk setup a lot.
I have been running Hawk HPS 5.0 front and back since my 2019 Stinger GT. Put them on my G70 within the first 500 miles to save the rotors. They do squeak a bit, but they stop without fail and after 35k on my Stinger, never once did I get any vibration on braking.
They feel amazing and the braking power is noticeably increased but they create an incredible amount of corrosive dust and make a really terrible high pitched noise on occasion under light braking.
I have Hawk HP+ on my NA, and while the bite is good, the brake dust is pretty significant
I used these for a track day and the dust melted/hardened onto my wheels and spent days scrubbing with different wheel cleaners and chiseling it off.
