Hawk Brake Pads - #1 Choice with SCCA
Hawk Brake Pads are the #1 choice for SCCA racers, and HPDE drivers alike. These brake pads offer great value, have multiple compounds, and are rotor friendly. LPI Racing has been using Hawk Brake Pads for the last 10 years, starting with the HP Plus brake pads for autocrossing. Today, LPI Racing owner Bill Lackey uses the Hawk DTC 70 compound for road racing his ITE LS7-powered Mazda RX7. LPI Racing owner Tammy Lackey prefers the Hawk Blue Brake Pads for her Miata. The Hawk Blue Brake Pads are great for light weight cars, but are not the most rotor-friendly for street driving. The Hawk DTC70 brake pads are super high friction, and should only be used on cars with a lot of mechanical grip or downforce.
Let us help you pick the right Hawk brake pad for your brake application. There is a tendency for drivers to pick the highest friction brake pad available, but this may not be the best approach. If the brake pads are not achieving their operating temperature range , there is a risk of not getting the expected bite and excessive rotor wear. Depending on the car, it can be advantageous to balance the front and rear brakes with different compound choices. We've included a Hawk Brake Pad Application Guide to assist you in identifying the Hawk brake pads for your car. A Make/Model/Year application guide is also available at the top of the page. If you can't find your application, please call. With thousands of Hawk brake pads available, we can help you find the brake pad for your application. Hawk also offers custom brake pads.

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 Brake Pads.
