I am stock turbo FBO (engine wise) FiST, switched from Powerstop Trac Day Spec to Hawk DTC-60 with good results.
I’m a big fan of how my brakes feel after upgrading to the Hawk HPS 5.0 pads, Bosch solid rotors (drilled/slotted do more harm than good), and some Goodrich Stainless Braided Brake lines.
Front - OEM rotors, check Lexus parts too, same same, with Hawk Heavy Duty pads. Rear - Centric or OEM rotors and oem pads. Fluid - Pentosin DOT 4 Low Viscosity brake fluid. Full fluid change every brake job.
Zimmerman blanks and Hawk HPS pads, Motul 5.1 fluid. Initial bite is as good as if not better than stock, but they seem to get much stronger with some heat in them. Biggest plus is the massive decrease in brake dust.
Hawk hps 5.0 and blank Zimmerman rotors
Whole setup feels really damn good.
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.
Hawk hp+ and a small car duster, they are dusty. You loose some initial bite but the more you dig in the better they work.
Had one in 2012. A cba 2009. Blew transmission. Covered under warranty. They put in a DBA transmission and bellhousing. Had full bolt ons and the car was fun. Ran mid 10\u2019s at over 130 mph. Stock brakes sucked. I upgraded to J hook rotors and I think hawk pads.
after about halfway through the second session I began to feel a fluttering under hard braking. Some light shaking of the steering wheel. No noticeable pulling left or right. No noticeable brake fade.
Fast forward to the next day. I noticed this black gunk on my front pads. The rears look good as new.
Under normal conditions my Hawk-30 pads squeak. Now I am noticing a rhythmic squeaking when I brake at street speeds.
