Where do you buy Hawk brakes?

[mbuskuhl]

I know of an RX8 that ran DTC60 front and HT10 rear in Koni Challenge. Never tried that combo but have ran DTC60 all around (with prop valve) on an RX7 and like them.

I have been well taken care of by Porterfield (purchasing Hawk and Raybestos pads) for a while now.

You can also get some Hawk stuff through Tire Rack.

FYI- I had a set of HT-10s that flaked apart due to overheating. Now, I did run a wheel for a few sessions that did not have good airflow characteristics, but I'm still not sure that it wasn't also the pads themselves. They seem to create more heat than other similar pads. I really like their characteristics (overall torque good, progressive initial bite, smooth release- gave me a LOT of confidence) but I'm too concerned about their heat issues to run them again.

I've used DTC-60 front and HT-10 rear for a while. Have been very happy with that setup.

Before that, I used HT-10 front and HP+ rear. Only difference I noticed in performance is pad life. rotors still lasted quite a while, and I ever hade overheating/fade problems.
Then again, I have some pretty huge rotors on my car compared to many IT folks, and wilwood superlites up front. I have quite a bit more brakes than most.

Is there a DTC pad equal to the Blue for aggresiveness?

Thanks for all the input.

Race Shopper had the HT-10 in stock for $133 + $9 shipping so I went with them... Owner is a ITA driver and SCCA supporter!

DTC-60 would be my best guess though modulation is easier in the DTC-60's than the Blue's.

We ran DTC-60 front/HT-10 rears on all the GA RX8's. Sorry, just saw this thread today.
