Right now I'm running OEM AC Delco ceramic pads and Durastop rotors. The pads are great with no dusting, but the rotors are garbage. I torque my lug nuts to 100 ft. lbs every time and these rotors still warped after a few thousand miles.

Powerslot rotors
Hawk ceramic pads

Been running this setup for 4 years now.

When I need new pads, I'm going to go with Hawk HPS.

I laugh at these 500+ dollar brake job's on daily drivers. I've never used a torque wrench on lugnuts in my entire life. Air compressor + matco impact gun and go.

They're the DuraStop Professional series, one step above OEM.

R1 premier and hawk hps all around. Little dust no noise and look good.

Ditto though Im running the OEM Brembo pads on my setup since they were new when I got the calipers but will be changing to Hawk HPS on the front when it comes time.

Stock rotors, stock Brembo/Ferrodo pads (street)
Stock rotors (2nd set), Hawk DTC-70 race pads (road track)

Stock brakes on an LNF are so underrated! They perform extremely well even in serious mountain driving with ZFR power. Hawk DTC's are in a class of their own but expensive ($260 for just front pads), and of course very dusty and very squeaky but that's a given with race pads.

When stock I ran centric high carbon rotors and stoptech street/trackday pads, tried ebc and they sucked! Now I'm running a brembo conversion on my RL so, brembo rotors/pads up front and centric/stoptech on rear. Hawk's I've tried on both set ups and while they worked well, they seemed to eat rotors faster. I also tried carbotech's 10s up front and 8s in back and that worked well but was pricey, probably balance out price wise when compared to the hawk's pads due to them chewing up rotors.

R1 premium slotted and Hawk HPS all the way around. I love the setup. If you don't autocross your car there isn't a better setup.

I've had the Hawks for about 15k miles and barely have any pad or rotor wear.

speedbugy996

I run a lot of track miles which is what kills my brake rotors/pads so quickly. I will go thru 2 or 3 sets of pads per race season and fresh rotors every spring. With the hawk pads/stock rotors I was changing rotors and pads almost 1 to 1 ratio. And at some tighter tracks the hawk's would heat crack once they got down to 50%, cooling ducts would probably help that some, but easier and cheaper just to run a better set up on the brakes. If you are running them in autox hawks should be fine as the heat never builds up as high as on track. Unless you are competing or track days centric high carbon and centric pads be fine for street use.

Not sure if you're talking about the Hawk DTC pads, but they are designed to eat up rotors. At $260 a set (front) that makes sense since a set of OEM front LNF rotors can be had for under 70 bucks shipped, making it much cheaper to replace rotors than pads

hawk hp plus, never ran the dtc blue ones, tried carbotec's next like them but pricey..then I got a good deal on the brembo kit and went that way instead of messing around futher. might consider going to powell's coleman rotor set up in the future.

Says the manufacturer
From my personal experience they are made of inferior steel had them warped three sets
Now I use stock pads stock rotors with no warping issues

If anyone is looking to reduce brake dust the Hawk HPS are the way to go.
