Description
Brake pads are one of the many various components in your vehicle’s braking system. When they begin to wear down, you will notice vibrations and you will likely hear some sort of noise coming from them when you press the brake pedal.
Hawk's most popular Motorsport Compound offers excellent modulation and braking power for a wide variety of applications. Strong initial bite combines with exceptional pedal feel to give drivers confidence during road racing and stage rally events. Also popular with experienced lapping day and driver school participants.
Medium/High torque brake compound. Low pad and rotor wear with good brake modulation.Recommended for Road racing and Rally applications where low to mid temperature effectiveness is critical. Optimum operating temperatures: 250F - 1000F (121C - 538C)
If it's time to replace your pads, also consider replacing your pads. Euromotiv carries a wide variety of stock replacement and performance pads to restore or upgrade braking performance. Keep your braking system in top notch condition by checking and replacing components whenever wear is visible or suspected.
SPECIAL NOTE: Due to the aggressive nature of the Hawk Performance Motorsports Compound pads, they are not recommended for street use.
Not sure which Hawk performance brake pad is right for your needs? Consult the "Hawk Brake Pad Compounds" graph for an illustration of braking temperatures versus coefficient of friction. A brake pad from the right of the graph such as DTC-50, DTC-60, or DTC-70 will provide aggressive stopping power for the track, but may not be suitable for street driving as they require higher temperatures to function properly. Selecting a pad from the left of the graph such as HPS 5.0, HP+, or the new Street Race will offer a more streetable upgrade with comparatively lower dust and quieter performance, while still improving brake torque and being gentle on rotors.
