I use Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads on all my Audis.
Loved my hawk track pads in the front on power stop rotors. I tried the EBC as well but only had them for a few thousand miles before I traded it in.
I am using POWERSTOP brake pads and drilled and slotted rotors. They work just fine!
Hawk HPS Brake Pads (MK6 Golf GTI) $50 * NIB Hawk HPS Brake Pads Hawk 'Performance Street' Brake Pads: *High Performance Street 5.0 ('B' Compound Code)*The new High Performance Street 5.0 Pads are a Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads that provide advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience.
Just today installed powerstop z32 pads and evolution coated rotors. Best you can get without making the jump to EBC pads.
I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.
Hawk HPS 5.0 pads
Can’t say anything bad about the Hawk brake pads. I have HPD 5.0’s and they stop great and dust very little.
I swapped from the ake’s to hawk on the last pad change. Hawks definitely don’t have the same stopping performance as the stock ones. I hate the dust from stock, but they work so much better Wouldn’t say the hawks were unacceptable by any means. Not worth the trouble to pull them out, but won’t be using them again
Get the raybestos for $81 there isn’t any need to spend any more money than that. The power stop brakes are a joke I have them on my truck now and they are not as good as the brakes I took off also the coating doesn’t stop rust.
