I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.
I've used hawk hp plus with a CSL rotor setup for about a decade now and have been very happy. They fit my needs well.
Hawk ER1. They’re fantastic.
I went with hawk 5.0 pads, they dust wayyyyy less than stock. Bite and stopping power feels just as good.
When I replaced the front pads and rotors, I went with the same OEM rotors from Brembo but upgraded to Project Mu Type NS-C pads. I have not yet swapped rears but I can see that there is significantly less dust with Project Mu pads and no squeal. Stopping power is great and I havent had issues.
I run Hawk HP+ on the street, they do not seem to need heat to work. There is some dusting but little noise and they don't seem to eat through rotors.
I've been running the Hawk 5.0s on a bunch of cars. I like them, they've even held up to a couple track days. Lots of dust but I think that just comes with the territory of performance pads.
I was overheating mine and switched to Hawk HPS 5.0. I’ve only run them in the street so far but they fit that role fine.
Hawk 5.0 for street/autox. I like them but they do make a fair bit of dust and maybe a little underpowered for heavy track.
Yeah wish I knew this before I put them on this weekend. Brand new wheels lol. I’ve been wiping them down every night
