This friction formulation provides very controllable, higher
temperature performance as compared to stock pads.
HT-14
DTC-70
Extremely high torque with aggressive controllable initial bite.
Superior release and torque control characteristics. Brake pads
designed for cars with high deceleration rates with or without
down force.
The key to our success has been, and continues to be, our
passion to develop leading-edge product technologies and
maintain our position as the global market leader. Our premier
DTC product line is a direct result of our passion and commitment
to Motorsports. When it comes to superior braking performance,
our DTC product line has no equal.
High torque with less initial bite than DTC 70. Superior release and
torque control characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with
high deceleration rates with or without down force. Recommended
for use with DTC-70 when split friction between front and rear
axle is desired.
DTC-30
Intermediate torque with less initial bite than DTC-60. Uniquely
controllable torque with smooth consistent feel and bite. Superior
release and torque control characteristics.
DTC-15
DTC-15 brake pads are a medium torque compound (less torque
than DTC-30, more than DTC-5) with superior release characteristics
and excellent cold effectiveness.
"I’ve used Hawk products at an amateur level long
before I had an association with the company in a
professional capacity. The support is excellent from
grassroots motorsports all the way to Formula One,
with a focus on listening to their customer base to
improve the product constantly.
-Mike Skeen
World Challenge
HT-10
Intermediate to high torque with a smooth initial bite. Very consistent
pedal feel. Excellent modulation and release characteristics.
DTC-60
Hawk Performance has dominated Motorsports braking for
over 20 years, offering highly engineered friction products
for nearly every type of racing.
Very high torque with aggressive initial bite. Excellent modulation
and release characteristics. Brake pads designed for cars with
extremely high deceleration rates and downforce.
BLUE 9012
Medium/High torque and temperature compound with excellent
brake modulation. #1 selling brake pad material for SCCA.
BLACK
