Default EBC red stuff or Hawk 5.0 991.2 c4 gts

Looking for less dust with no compromise to stopping power.

What do you recommend??

EBC is a hot seller for us, Hawks are great too, but EBC is more popular.

Endless Street & Track, available from Speedfreaks USA.. A lot less dust, better braking. I liked them so much on my track modded 911S that I put them on my Macan S and Panamera Turbo, too.

I've got the Hawk 5.0 on my 991.1 C2S and really like them. Good stopping power, quiet, and not much dust.

What is so special about endless that it is more than double price?

Do they last longer? I read mixed reviews on noisiness as well

I've been using EBC Red for 2 years but haven't used Hawk 5.0. Used to run Hwak HPS on BMWs. So far, I have no complains, much less dust and good bite for street use and speedy high way exiting. It looks like you will be fine either way. so just find something that's cheaper since Black Friday sale is coming up soon.

I can only compare the Endless pads to OEM. Much better. As for noise, I don't have any on any of the 3 cars.

I am running EBC red pads on my E63 and am happy with them. Less dust than OEM and no obvious destruction to to the OEM rotors.

Initial bite seems a bit better than OEM as well which is good/bad depending on what you like.

Have heard good things about the Hawk 5.0, and like @isugoo have only run the Hawk HPS (only on the street / autocross) and was very happy with them. I would personally not run the HPS on the track though.
