My favorite autocross pad is Hawk HP+, but they dust like crazy and some sets are extremely squeaky for some reason. But they are mad consistent in all temps (except track where they fade at high speeds like any street pad) and the bite is absolutely fantastic and easy to modulate.
I've been using Hawk 5.0 They're marketed as a "high performance street" pad. I've done track days with them and theyve held up but they're "street" enough that they don't take forever to get warm. Maybe it's my lack of experience with other pads but they are kinda dusty.
Always had good luck in the past with Hawk HPS pads.
Brake dust difference between stock Akebono pads on the front and Hawk Performance Ceramic on the rear. The backs would usually be about 70% as dusty as the fronts and now they're essentially clean
I've been tracking my 335i for a few years now, ive used ebc yellowstuff, and bluestuff pads. But they dont even hold a candle to the hawk ht10 pads I have in my spec e46, easily my favorite part of that car.
hawk hps 5.0 pads all around
I got Zimmerman rotors and Textar brake pads for my 2013 550i with the M package. Everything is been working great for the last 6 months.
I use Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Definitely an improvement over stock and I haven’t had any issues with dust.
I was very very happy with the Hawks setup... but I did run into some fade in aggressive downhill run, which could have been the pads or the fluid.
Has anyone else experienced crazy dust from their Hawk HP+ pads? These wheels were clean at the start of the day, and what you see above is after 6 47 second runs.Advertised as low dust, I find it hard to imagine this is what they mean by that. Under hard braking, you can literally taste the dust in your mouth, and the car had a thin film over it. I reached out to Hawk 9 days ago asking for some clarification but have been disappointed not to hear back from them at all. Not impressed with the customer service, nor with the brake pads. They bite great, but the amount of dust im getting is insane.
