Popular pad compounds (optional):
- DTC-70: Offering the highest bite and heat capacity in Hawk's range, along with improved pedal modulation. The DTC-70 is a popular pad across a very wide range of racing venues, and has become the pad a choice in numerous SCCA and NASA Series. Many customers report that the pad performs very similarly to the PFC01 on track. DTC-70 is typically used as a front application.
-
DTC-60: The DTC-60 is as above, yet slightly less bite than the DTC-70. Popular for amature track enthusiasts and those who run street pads in the rear.
-
HP+: Great street, Auto-X or canyon driving pad. More bite and heat capacity than the HPS (a bit of noise can occur when cold/ street driving. A good pad bedding procedure is recommended to keep noise down).
-
DS1.11: Great for club race and extended heavy use on the track. The DS1.11 is known for its extremely flat torque curve, which means that as temperatures go up, the response through the brake pedal remains consistent. Popular on 2400-2800lbs race cars. If you want a pad that you can thrash all day without having it burn up or fade, the DS1.11 is a great choice.
AP has been supplying professional race teams at the highest levels of motorsport with brake systems and components: They know what works and what doesn't. Optimization is our focus so we've assembled our kits with components that are durable, efficient and light weight. From 20min sprints to 24hr endurance races, our competition kits are up to whatever you can through at them.
This system offers our customers the following advantages:
- Roughly 4-6lbs. unsprung weight reduction from each front corner of the car vs. the OE system
- Incredible array of inexpensive race pad options at prices that are nearly $90 lower per set than the OEM pad shape. These pads are large/thick enough to handle typical lapping/race sessions
- Mitigation of pad knockback due to anti-knockback springs in the calipers
- Less chance of damaging bleed screws or crossover tubes when changing wheels due to built-in protection
- Caliper finish that is more resistant to wear and deterioration
- Stainless steel caliper hardware for a long caliper service life under frequent pad change conditions
- High temperature, low drag seals that will hold up to track temps better than OEM components= less rebuilding and longer service life
- No dust boots to burn up and make a big mess
- Simple pad change with one bolt and no spring clips (rather than tapping out the pins)
- Extremely compact package for superior wheel fitment
- Stainless steel pistons that keep heat out of your brake fluid to resist fluid fade during extended track sessions
