Hawk Brake Pads and Staged Upgrades!

We now currently carry in inventory over 300 pads in stock at all times! With close to 60 pads just for the RX-8!

WE GUARANTEE THE LOWEST PRICE


We are stocked up and ready to ship Hawk Ceramics, HPS, and HP+ pads. We also have Stainless Steel brake lines and brake fluids. To help some of you on deciding which pad is best for you I will try to describe the characteristics of each pad.

*First off these pads are street pads, so they are legal to drive on the streets.*

I will go in order of luxury to straight performance, so to start off:

1.Hawk Ceramics – These pads will have better braking bite then OEM, and have low dust and noise output. This is perfect pad for daily driving in the city, and emergency braking situations. These pads are popular among show cars as they prevent wheels from getting layers of hard to remove brake dust. These pads can also be used during autocross events, but they might suffer from overheating (brake fade) over long term continuous braking and will wear fast under spirited driving.

2.Hawk HPS – These pads are also great for daily driving with their carbon/metallic compound. From customer reviews these pads tend to have a little less initial bite than Ceramics, but these pads also have much better braking over OEM. The reason why Carbon/metallic compound is used is because they wear slower, and last longer. These pads have low noise and low dust output, but not as low as the ceramics. These pads can also be used for autocross events, and they should hold up rather well. These pads might not hold up in racing conditions that exceed autocross speeds.

3.Hawk HP+ (plus) – The HP+ pad is the ultimate performance street pad. This pad is made to stop you and do it reliably. The HP+ has an aggressive carbon/metallic compound that gives you race level braking, but comes with consequences with higher dust and noise output. These pads will most likely squeal occasionally, but that’s just the characteristics of performance brake pads. Lastly these pads are meant for continuous hard braking, and will hold up at higher temperatures (brake fade prevention)

Racing Brake SS lines – With your pad change we highly recommend changing out the spongy rubber brake lines and getting some DOT Certified Stainless Steel Brake Lines. We have Racing Brake SS lines that will meet your needs in increasing pedal feel!

All of our Hawk Brake pads can be ordered VIA our site and as always Free Shipping for all orders over $100!!!

Yes the Ceramics will dust less, if you are looking for even further savings I would recommend the Racing Brake ET500 over the Hawk Ceramics they perform just as well.

Race Roots,

Just place my order online - I went with the Hawk HPS as I've used them in my previous car and loved them. It still brakes like a champ! How does the free shipping go out? i.e. UPS, USPS, etc. and how long does it typically take?

I never cease to be impressed with the Hawk Ceramic pads. Almost silent and very low dust but with excellent bite. For street [spirited] daily driver they're the best I've had. Matched with the Racing Brake curved vane slotted rotors I also got from Race Roots I'm very satisfied.

So I'm looking to replace my brake pads because the dealership said they are "non factory" and that is what is causing a snapping noise that I'm hearing when braking. Do you think I need OEM's or would Hawk or Racing Brake pads be fine? Also would either of these come with a full install kit such as the clips that hold the pads into the caliper?

Thanks.

^Hawk pads come with everything you need to install...But you reuse your OEM clips. The shims on the back of the pad are not needed with most brake pads...Just make sure you lube it up.

Thanks Top. Do you (or anyone) know where I can get the guide plate clips that hold the pads onto the calipers? I'm just looking to get new ones if I'm replacing the pads too, because some of my current clips are in pretty rough shape. Like they barely stay in place when I put them on the caliper, and I'm tired of trying to bend them to make them stay in.
