The definitive Hawk Brake Pad guide, with Low dust option

I would say the hawk ceramics are a little less performant than the ebc red based on some weekend driving. It’s still fine for street driving but I was able to fade them quite easily in the mountains. It’s fine though, just brake less 🤪
 
I agree. Not for hard driving or on the track. I would probably change to the racingbrake pads for the track.
 
It's also my opinion that the hawks have quite a bit more dust than the EBC Red -- but in specific hard braking situations only. The heat really breaks down these pads a lot -- I'd say under harder use they dust just as much as the stock pads.
 
I really don't want to waste the stock pads but my car has the new gloss version of the diamond cut and in a 20 mile trip they are all matte looking from the dust. I'm gonna try to stick it out but Im not sure how long Ill last before I say screw it and switch.
