Looking for any input on Hawk compounds. Anyone happy with their setup with a mix of auotcross and road racing in mind? Unsatisfied with my Wilwood pads and their cold performance.
I will have some info for your soon. I have seen Carbotech on the corvette forum and lots of people swear by them...Tobin at Kore 3 told me to give them a call. They happen to be 15 minutes from my house. Anyway, I got a set of their Ax6 pads(autocross pad). The cold Cf is .52. Suppose to be easy on rotors, can drive them on the street but may be noisy with a little dust. If you are concerned about noise you can run their bearcats on the back. They stated these pads have won a number of national solo II events. They said for track for my car to use the XP12 on front and XP10 or XP8 on the rear. State to use a different compound on the back on a solid axle car to keep it for wheel hopping.
I will let you know about the noise, bite and dust by this weekend.

i have been running 9012 blue on front and hp plus on rear, i like a less aggressive bite on my rear brake pads. the 9012s are alittle hard on rotors but the initial bite is well worth it.

yesterday. Todd you know the problems we have had with not liking the feel of our brakes. Well I can finally say I am more than please with the feel and performance of my brakes. What a difference a good pad makes. The Carbotech Ax6 pad is outstanding. It dusts more than the BP10 but not as much as say your BMW. somewhere in between. So far no noise and it stops like crazy. I also changed fluid to a Brembo low compression and the feel of my pedal has never been better. These will be the only pads I run on the street and autocross. I will get another set for the track that will take that kind of heat. Probably the Carbotech XP12's on front and XP10's on rear.
Nice! The only time I've really liked my brakes was on the road course. I'll call them soon. What do you think about going to a 1 inch master with these pads?
