Brake Pads for HPDEs?


#1

Hello everyone,

I’m looking for recommendations on brake pads to use on the e30 for HPDEs.

My car is not yet a dedicated track car, however, it is also not my daily driver. So track performance is a priority, but I’m looking for something that is somewhat acceptable for street use.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Paul

I have used Hawk HP+ on my e30 (non-daily driver) for HPDE and auto-x use. Work well enough when cold and have been good at the track. They are a little noisy - so you may get some looks on the street.

+1 for HP+'s have them on my mini, just use a ton of anti-squeal and they’ll stay quiet enough for the every day.

HP+ seemed to work well for my M10 318i and M42 318is, as long as I stayed with street tires.

I have used PFC-01 on another car (non-E30). If you don’t mind a lot of dust, I highly recommend this pad. They were quieter than HP+, at least that’s been my experience.
