The Hawk Friction Hierarchy & Technology
Hawk Performance has built its reputation on the track, dominating series like SCCA and NASA for decades. Their secret lies in their unique friction formulations, which are designed to provide a consistent torque curve and excellent modulation. Whether you are managing the weight of a high-torque Ford Barra or seeking precision in a Toyota 86 / GR86, Hawk provides a compound tailored to your specific thermal requirements and tyre grip levels.
Our sourcing capabilities cover the flagship Hawk Performance range:
• HPS 5.0 (High Performance Street): The ultimate street upgrade. Offers a significant increase in stopping power and fade resistance over OE, with very low noise and dust. Ideal for VW Golf GTI/R and BMW M-Power daily drivers.
• HP Plus: A high-friction compound designed for Autocross and Track Day use. Known for its incredible initial bite, it is a favourite for the Mazda MX-5 and Subaru WRX/STI.
• DTC Series (Direct-to-Track): Professional-grade racing compounds (DTC-60, DTC-70) featuring superior torque control and thermal management for Nissan Z and Mitsubishi Evo competition builds.
• LTS (Light Truck & SUV): Specifically engineered for larger vehicles, providing improved braking performance for 4WD and heavy towing applications.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we provide the technical expertise to assist you in matching the correct Hawk compound to your rotor type and driving environment. We work closely with our supply network to ensure your authentic Hawk Performance hardware is sourced and despatched with professional care and speed.
Hawk Performance FAQ
Do Hawk brake pads require bedding-in?
Yes. Like all high-performance friction materials, Hawk pads require a proper bed-in procedure to transfer a uniform layer of film onto the rotor surface. This ensures maximum stopping power, reduces brake groan, and extends the life of both the pads and the rotors.
Are HP Plus pads noisy for street use?
The HP Plus is an aggressive "crossover" pad. While it offers incredible performance, its high friction coefficient can result in more brake dust and occasional squeal compared to the HPS 5.0. It is best suited for enthusiasts who prioritise track performance over absolute silence.
How quickly can you source Hawk Performance products?
We utilise a robust international and local supply network to provide the fastest possible turnaround. Most Hawk HPS 5.0 and HP Plus pads for popular Australian performance platforms are sourced and despatched within a short timeframe for delivery nationwide.
