Does anyone have any information on the performance of these new pads from Hawk? I'm looking to change my pads to something with more fade resistance (in addition to ss brake lines and dot 4 fluid). I'm looking to keep them on full time and not have to change between my stock brembos and a racing pad.

Note: these are not the HPS pads they carry.

The only place i can currently find them listed is Tirerack, but only the front pads are listed.

Thanks!

I had the box in yellow performance ceramic on my v6 and they were great was very happy with the quality feel and sound. I say go for it!

When I upgraded my brake pads/lines/fluid, Tyler at JDPmotorsports led me to the Hawk HP+ pads all around.
Am I ever glad they did. I use them for street and autocross.

Looks like noone has tried them yet (and other pads from Hawk do not really represent this product), but I'm sure we'll see users reporting in by the time track season heats up.

This lools like an exciting product. Before this, Hawk did not have anything with good fade resistance, which is also good for street. Looking forward to hearing more about it. I'm especially wondering about its bite.

Actually the Hawk 9012 pad blues are good with fade resistance to a point. HP+ are crap. I had blues on my car last year and they are good but the rotor eaters suck in rain and winter, will rust your car for sure if used daily. I now have these Street/race pads. The have stronger torque than the 9012 blues but instead of eating rotors they wear more than blues leaving black carbon dust on the rims. Both of these pads are superior to the HPS and HP+ by far. These are a more streetable HT10 pad basically and don't squeal as much if at all.

I read the race street pads are the same compound as the DCT-30 except they have some new features to help keep them quiet on the road.

Hawk tech told me they were based on the HT-10 compound.

Great info thank you! Looks like I will be buying some of these. Would keeping stock pads on the rear work if I only put these on the front?

I read that on the hawk website, they even have a graph for temp ranges and the DCT30 and these new pads shair the same line which is labeled dct30/race street.

I was having trouble finding it but you can See the graph here

toe - thanks for posting a link to those curves. Although I'm not currently running Hawk pads, it does give me some basis for comparison to what I am running.

I did this upgrade on my V6 a while.

SS Brembos
Stainless Steel brake lines
Hawk HPS pads.

Everything worked great but be aware at the track these Hawks pads generate a lot more heat. Plan on brake cooling ducts or just keep on eye on your OEM rotors as they will get 100F+ hotter than using the OEM pads.

Norm Peterson · 01-12-2015, 12:01 PM

HPS is all done by 800°F and isn't by any stretch a track pad. You may, with careful use and conscious, diligent consideration for their limitations, get away with them very early in your track experience, but you'll outgrow them very, very quickly. I wouldn't even want to predict whether you'd wear them out or fade them to the point of worthlessness first.

I just sent email to Hawk asking how these are different from the DTC-30's. I have the DTC-30's and recently took them off as they are *really* noisy for the street. They are awesome for the track and fell in love with them but felt like they were just too much even after renewing the lube after burning it off on the track.
