Fits Alcon TA-6 / XR-6, AP CP4240 / CP4260, and Baer 6S calipers (does not fit 6P calipers). Typical applications include Trans Am, Champ Car before 2000, IRL, European Touring Cars, and World Rally.
Ferro-Carbon is a unique, high-tech family of friction materials developed and manufactured by Hawk Brake for the racing community. Hawk Pads do not require an extensive "bedding-in" procedure. Keep in mind however, that all disc brake pads require a short period of bedding-in before being used to the maximum of their potential.
Blue (E): Also known as Blue 9012 (the original Blue compound). Medium/High torque racing compound with medium initial bite. The wide temperature range and good brake modulation have made it the #1 pad material for SCCA. Recommended for Production, IT, F2000, Formula Ford, S2000, CSR, and DSR. 250-1000° F (350-800° F optimal).
Performance Ceramic (Z): Street pad engineered for luxury cars where low noise is most important. Despite the reduction in noise and dust, this compound out-brakes and outlasts many OEM pads. For use with iron rotors only (not for use with ceramic or carbon/ceramic discs).
DTC-30 (W): Medium torque racing compound designed specifically for dirt track racing. The smooth bite, controllable torque, and superior release are tuned for the demands of dirt. Low temperature effectiveness also makes it great for gravel. Recommended for dirt circle track and gravel rally stages. 100-1200° F (100-800° F optimal).
DTC-60 (G): Very high torque racing compound with high initial bite. DTC-60 was developed as a rear pad to be used with DTC-70 on the front, but it has also become popular as a front pad on lighter cars. Available only for a limited selection of popular racing calipers. Recommended for Trans-Am, GT1, CART, Formula Atlantic, F2000, F3000, and Sports Prototypes. 400-1600° F (700-1100° F optimal).
DTC-70 (U): Extremely high torque racing compound with very high initial bite. Designed to be the most controllable racing brake pad available. Intended for heavier sedans and formula cars with lots of tire and downforce. This compound works best when very hot. Available only for a limited selection of popular racing calipers. Recommended for Trans-Am, GT1, CART, Formula Atlantic, F3000, and Sports Prototypes. 400-1600° F (800-1200° F optimal).
HP Plus (N): Designed as an autocross (Solo II) and track day (Solo I) compound. Very wide temperature range makes it suitable for all forms of autocross, yet still streetable. Expect an increase in dust, noise, and rotor wear. 100-800° F (100-600° F optimal).
HPS (F): HPS = High Performance Street. This compound will outperform OEM pads without sacrificing street manners. A good choice for Solo II; also recommended for amateur to intermediate drag racing. Effective from dead cold up to 700° F (100-500° F optimal).
HPS 5.0 (B): The next-generation development of the popular HPS street compound, HPS 5.0 offers increased friction without increasing noise or dust. Tuned for use with ABS and suitable for spirited street driving.
