Hawk Performance Race Brake Pads

Applicable to various high-performance and racing applications

Part #: HB102V.800

Overview

The Hawk Performance Race Brake Pads (HB102V.800) are engineered for serious racers and high-performance driving enthusiasts who demand exceptional braking performance under demanding conditions. Designed with versatility in mind, these pads excel in both track and endurance racing scenarios, providing consistent, reliable stopping power across a broad temperature range. Whether you're pushing your vehicle to its limits on the race track or seeking high-performance braking for spirited driving, these pads deliver the control and confidence you need.

Built through extensive testing and development, the Hawk DTC-50 compound offers a split compound design that allows for tuning and customization based on your specific racing or driving needs. This innovative formulation bridges the gap between the Hawk DTC-30 and DTC-60 race pads, providing a balanced blend of high-temperature stability, modulation, and durability. The result is a brake pad that supports aggressive braking without sacrificing longevity or consistency, making it ideal for competitive racing and demanding street use.

Key Features

The Hawk Performance Race Brake Pads feature advanced materials and engineering to optimize braking performance and durability. Key features include:

• Developed with Hawk's Dynamic Torque Control (DTC) technology, ensuring predictable and linear brake response across a wide temperature spectrum.
• Split compound design allows for tuning to match specific track conditions or driving styles, enhancing braking efficiency and fade resistance.
• High-performance ceramic and metallic blend materials provide excellent thermal stability, reducing brake fade during extended high-temperature use.
• Optimized for racing applications, these pads deliver consistent torque and modulation from cold start to peak operating temperatures.
• Extensive testing has refined the compound to offer a balance of aggressive initial bite and long-lasting performance.
• Suitable for various high-performance brake systems, including racing calipers and aftermarket setups.
• Designed to work effectively with both vented and slotted rotors, maximizing heat dissipation and pad life.
• Manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards, ensuring durability and safety during intense driving conditions.

Construction & Design

The Hawk DTC-50 brake pads are constructed using a proprietary blend of high-performance ceramic and metallic compounds, carefully engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and aggressive braking forces. The pads feature a precision-machined backing plate and a high-friction friction material that provides excellent pad-to-rotor contact. The split compound design is achieved through advanced manufacturing processes, allowing for tailored performance characteristics that can be fine-tuned for specific racing or driving needs.

The pads are designed with a low dust formulation to minimize brake dust buildup and reduce rotor wear, contributing to cleaner wheels and longer component life. The high-temperature stability of the materials ensures that the pads maintain their performance even after prolonged use at racing speeds, making them a reliable choice for endurance racing and high-performance street applications.

Installation & Fitment

The Hawk Performance Race Brake Pads are designed as direct replacement for OEM or aftermarket high-performance brake pads. Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians or enthusiasts familiar with brake system maintenance. No special modifications or tuning are required, but it is recommended to bed-in the pads properly to maximize performance and lifespan. Always follow the manufacturer's bedding procedures for optimal results. These pads are compatible with a wide range of racing calipers and rotors, making them suitable for various high-performance brake setups.

• Ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris before installation.
• Follow proper bedding procedures to achieve maximum performance and longevity.
• Check rotor condition and replace if necessary to ensure optimal pad contact.
