Hawk Performance Brake pads

Rating 4.0

I have dtc-60 on mine. They’re great track pads, but overkill for your first track day. They’re comically squeaky if you use them around town and def not made for that.

Pros: great track pads
Cons: overkill for novice, very squeaky

I run the 60s in the front and stock in the rear. The 60s are a lot of braking power specially for your first time. I would not recommend the 70s that will be way too much. They are dusty but I'm at about 50% life on 5 track weekends. One weekend the car almost never shut off. If you are really using them make sure to give them a cool down lap or they will smoke.

Pros: lot of braking power, good longevity
Cons: dusty, can smoke without cooldown

I have the dtc60 with rbf600 fluid. No fade at all. Would recommend. If you're tracking only once a year though, make sure to swap back to street pads. The hawks dust a ton and squeal veeery loud.

Pros: no fade
Cons: very dusty, very loud

The racing shop that does the work on my track car picked out Hawk HPS 5.0 pads for me for this same purpose. They worked great on the track and don't have much more noise than a factory pad.

I'm only in HPDE2, though, so my track evaluation may not mean much. They were definitely an improvement over the stock pads I used in the previous track outing.

Pros: worked great, little noise

You could look at Hawk Enduro pads and see if they last longer but you'll probably net less braking power so you'll need to recalibrate your markers a bit. 3100lbs and 300hp - dtc60s last me 8-11 track days (though one of my local tracks is easy on brakes) based on my experience last year running in advanced groups - including multiple open sessions with 30-50m long runs.

Pros: long lasting
Cons: less braking power

Hawk HPS 5.0 front and rear.

They dust the same as what came on my car from the factory, the first 1k miles they felt like they needed some extra heat in them to get a "normal" feel but by the time I left my neighborhood it was fine. Either I'm used to it now or it went away.

Cons: initial heat-up needed
Mileage: 1000 km
