Hawk makes various compounds for G60s. Much better pad than Ferodo IMO.

Default They stopped being available around 2005.

I have a set of DS2500s for the G60s if you want 'em. The friction surface is worn down to about the width of two American $.25 cent coins stacked on top of eachother.

Default not in my experience

but i guess it depends on the car/brake combo. i'll probably put a set of HPS's back on it. they are on it now and are pretty meh.

Default DS2500 are more agressive than Hawk HPS. Get HP+ to match.

I'm runing HT-10 on my Porsche calipers on the Coupe now. No situation it wouldn't stop on time. No fade either on a brake-heavy track and hot temps...30 minutes..no problem. It is much lighter than UrS car.

I've run hawk Blues on my G60s on the stock Coupe on the track - they were awesome, but ate my rotors fast.

I've run DS2500 on the Avant, on track...didn't like them at all...then swapped to HP+ and they were perfect, until I wore them down to 2-3mm and bent the backing plate out of shape :P

Default HP+'s are too noisy for street driving

that's why i like the 2500's.

Default HP+ sucks when cold, I'd say they are not streetable

DS2500 is a great compromise between street and track.

HP+ belongs on the track. Ultimate stopping power is greater than DS2500 but streetability is not as good.
