They're quite a good combo. I glazed them doing too much drifting in the snow, but fixed with a bench grinder and they're as good as day 1.
I would rather save a bit and get similar performance and get the Power Stop Z26 carbon infused ceramic pads. If you don't track your car no need for anything higher end as you won't get anywhere near the temps for these to fade.
I did a similar Brand: Power Stop Z26 Streets and I think they’re fine. Anything will be better than the OEM padding/Rotor. Didn’t even flush brake fluid, they did take a few drives before fully losing the squeak/grind sound when approaching full stop even after doing required bedding process. I’m at 72k miles on 2019 3.3t
Hawk Blues are the best I’ve driven on a street driven 930 being used on the track. Thousands of laps with different compounds. Or HPS+ if you’re not that aggressive.
I have Power Stop Z23 Ceramic/Carbon Fiber pads, they are quiet and no dust. This is for my daily driven car, no track action.
I've got PowerStop stuff and man it is powerful. It is noisy for the first stop after a rain to burn the rust off the rotors, but that's it.
I use Hawk Blues on-track and street pads off. Pads are so easy to change on our cars that it is only a 30 minute job to swap before each track day once you have some practice. The Blues are very abrasive and will clean any bedding material off the rotor if you just lightly ride the brakes for a few minutes while the pads are cold. The Blues have plenty of stopping power when cold on the street, but squeal a lot and eat through rotors very quickly. On-track they have been fade-free for me with excellent modulation using ATE TYP200 brake fluid.
I really liked the Hawk HPS 5.0s on my WRX. Good enough for the track and plenty comfortable for the street
I haven’t heard of fake brake pads but be careful. The main reason I’m commenting is HP+ pads might be good for autox but if you have experience on track, I’d avoid. Granted, my experience using them was on a 2015 WRX but you can overheat the pads pretty quickly on a heavy braking circuit.
If that quote is just for pads, it's not a ripoff. it's criminal!!! Do yourself a favor and buy powerstop, install them yourself, and save a fortune. Scat brakes are ridiculously easy to work on.
