Hawk Brake Pads - #1 Choice with SCCAHawk Brake Pads are the #1 choice for SCCA club racers, and HPDE drivers alike. The offer great value, have multiple compounds, and are usually rotor friendly. We have been using Hawk Brake Pads for the last 10 years, starting out with the HP Plus for autocross, and now using the DTC70's for Road Racing in a ITE LS1 powered RX7. My Wife's favorites in her Spec Miata are the Hawk Blues. These are great for lower weight cars, but be aware they are not the most rotor friendly for driving to and from events. Let us help you pick the right brake pad for your application. Most people usually pick the highest friction brake pad there is, but this is not the best approach. It is possible to over pad a car. If you can't get the pads within the normal operation range, you risk not getting the bite you expected, not to mention high rotor wear. Depending on the car it might also be advantageous to help balance the braking front/rear with your compound choice. We've included a Hawk application guide below. It is a lot to download and find your application for sure. We also have a Make/Model/Year application guide on our homepage. If you can't find your application, let us know. With thousands of brake pads, we have your application. Hawk is also good about custom making pads for your car.

| Hawk Performance is the industry leader in performance brake pads and is the official brake pad for SCCA. Whether you are running an open wheel car or a NASCAR, Hawk Performance has a brake pad for you. LPI Racing most often recommends either the HT10 or DTC70 brake pads depending on the application. HT10's can be driven to and from events. The DTC70 is not rotor friendly, but proves to have the most bite of any of the Hawk Performance pads. | | Hawk Black - Medium torque - Not used much on track, but good for some dirt applications. If used on track is usually in lower HP cars and used in the rear. | 100 - 900°F - (38 - 482°C) | | Hawk Blue - Medium/High torque and temperature compound with great brake modulation. Highest selling SCCA pad. Used mostly in lower HP cars like Spec Miata and IT. Great feel and modulation. | 250 - 1000°F - (121 - 538°C) | | Hawk HT10 - Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite.
