Hawk Performance Brake pads

  • Braking:
  • Noise:
  • Dust:
Rating 4.0

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

R1 Concepts Brake pads

I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too

Pros: improvement over stock
Cons: brake fading prone

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I upgraded to EX brakes with some junkyard drilled/slotted rotors and Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. They were leaps and bounds better, but I have boiled DOT3 more than a few times and can sense the brakes when they get hot and I'll simply ease up and go with a slower pace.

Pros: leaps and bounds better
Cons: boiled DOT3 fluid
Vehicle: Honda

Hawk Performance Brake pads

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
