I've enjoyed my Hawk HPS 5.0 pads quite a bit, though I have the PP brakes. Handled a track day very well with no fade (I'm no pro so I'm sure they can fade if pushed hard enough).
slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM
centric cryo rotors with hawk gt 5.0 pads, last forever no fade during hard street driving
i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.
Textar
If you want upgraded pads. Try HAWK 5.0 pads. You can't go wrong with a better initial bit, better response and shorter stopping distance.
I really like my hawk er1’s. They work whether they’re cold or hot. I daily drive my rx8 during the summer, and drive to track days and autoX. They are squeaky and pretty dusty
Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.
I changed out the oem and ran Hawks for a while, braking distance wan't much difference but the brake dust was terrible, Rims where dirty all of the time.
