High Performance Street Pads
The Ferrari F430 uses the same shape pads in
front and back. To replace pads at all four corners, order two sets of
pads. Each set includes four pads, enough to fit two calipers.
|
|
 |
Hawk HPS high performance street pads have
low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear. Slightly higher in friction
level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of
around 750°F. Not recommended for track use, as their
friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Hawk Performance Ceramic street pads
have extremely low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear. These represent the latest technology in street friction. Not
for track use.
|

|
|
 |
Hawk HP PLUS high performance street pads have
moderate dust, moderate rotor wear, very high initial bite and similar MOT
to Hawk HPS of
around 750°F. They tend to be noisy, sometimes squealing under light
braking, although
proper bedding can help. Ideal for autocross.
Not recommended for track use, as their
friction level falls off rapidly when MOT is exceeded, just like the
Hawk HPS.

Centric Posi Quiet Semi-Metallic pads
offer a high friction level across a wide temperature range. Very low dust, low noise
w/OE designed composite shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal. Easy on rotors.
Better performance than typical low-dust pads. Give up the dust
without giving up the performance.

Centric Posi Quiet
Extended Wear pads
offer a stable friction level across a wide temperature range. Low dust, long
pad & rotor life, low noise,
w/OE designed shims to reduce pad vibration and squeal. Not a track pad.

Racing Pads
The Ferrari F430 uses the same shape pads
in front and back. To replace pads at all four corners, order two sets
of pads. Each set includes four pads, enough to fit two calipers.
|
|
 |
Hawk Blue 9012 Race pads have a stable
torque curve, good bite, and a MOT of 1,050°F. Low to moderate rotor
wear when warm, but extremely high rotor wear when cold. Works well
for track use in the front of lower horsepower, front-engine cars with less
experienced drivers. Advanced drivers can overheat this pad on medium
to heavy cars. We primarily use this pad as a "tool" to remove
pad deposits from rotors.

Hawk HT-10 Race pads have good
modulation and release characteristics, making them ideal for the
"weekend warrior." Moderate rotor wear, moderate dust, a stable torque
curve, above average bite, and a MOT of 1,400°F. Recommended for the
front of front-engine cars for casual track use, as well as for the rear of club
race and professional race cars.

|
|
|
Hawk HT-14 Race pads are more
aggressive than HT-10. Very high average torque output, slightly
rising over its temperature range and a MOT of 1600°F. Even with its
high torque output, it retains good modulation and release characteristics
and moderate rotor wear. Recommended for the front of front engine
race cars in conjunction with HT-10 in the rear.

PFC
97 Race pads have medium to high
average torque output, a very flat torque output over its operating
temperature range and a MOT of 2000°F. Exceptionally low
pad and rotor wear and excellent modulation and release characteristics.
Popular for the front of front engine cars driven at
lapping and open track days. Often used on the rear of club and pro-level race cars
with PFC 01 in front.

PFC
01 Race pads have very high
average torque output, rising over its operating
temperature range, and a MOT of 2000°F. Excellent bite, low
rotor wear, and average pad wear. Novice drivers may find this pad
challenging to modulate. Pad of choice for top race teams and our
favorite due to overwhelming positive feedback and few complaints of judder. Frequently used in the front of front engine
cars with PFC 97 in the rear.

Ferodo DS2500 Club Race pads can be
used on the street and for light to medium track duty. Good cold bite,
but can be noisy.
Proper bedding can help reduce this noise. Less compressible than
other pads, giving it excellent pedal feel and good modulation. The
average friction level of about 0.50 remains constant at any speed and at
temperatures up to 1,000 °F, after which it falls off slowly.
Frequently used in the rear in conjunction with Ferodo DS3000 in front.

Ferodo DS3000 Race pads have very high
coefficient of friction of about 0.62, a flat torque output over its operating
temperature range and very good modulation characteristics. Frequently used in the front of front engine
cars in conjunction with Ferodo DS2500 in the rear. Not recommended
for street use.

|
Drivers with competition tires and heavy, powerful cars can experience fluid fade and destruction of
caliper dust boots and piston seals, even after the installation of a big
brake kit.
These titanium inserts are installed behind the pads, dramatically reducing heat transfer
to the calipers. This helps prevent dust boots from vaporizing and
reduces the
temperature of the brake fluid. They are especially effective when the
pads have worn by 50 percent or more, since worn pads provide less thermal insulation between the rotors and calipers.

Performance, All-Season, and Winter Tires |
|
Besides brakes, tires are the
most important component in determining stopping distance. It's literally
where the rubber meets the road. Selecting the right tire for your driving
conditions can make a tremendous difference. For example, if you live in
Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are
leaving huge performance gains on the table! A good set of summer-only
performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities
of your car. In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance,
you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before
spending any money here on better brakes!
For the best selection and
prices, use the Tire Decision Guide
by Tire Rack. Select the appropriate model year, then click the Go
button. You'll be asked a couple of questions which will help narrow down
your tire choices to the select few which most closely match your driving needs.
From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has
it all. The Tire Decision Guide takes the guesswork out of buying tires
for your car.
