Brakes are arguably the most important part of a race car (or at least a race car’s survival), but we’ll admit to sharing a common blind spot with most of the paddock: Our tow vehicles.
Seriously: Despite pouring days of analysis, wrenching, data collection and more analysis into our race car’s brakes, we never gave much thought to the system …
I have run Hawk HPS on my tow rig (Sequoia) for years with no complaints. I know they are not supposed to be a towing/truck pad but I found that they were a major improvement over some heavy-duty pads I bought from other manufacturer previously.
Working on a Miata again after playing exclusively with 4x4s for years was such a treat. Oh this wheel + tire doesn't weigh 85 lbs?! How nice.
I had lts pads on both of my gmt900's and I don't like them. I've tried to, but just can't. Greasy feel on my Avalanche and almost too grippy on my suburban.
I have Hawk HPS pads and DBA rotors on my Disco. Made a huge difference over the stock (and worn out) brakes
I reckon that y'all are correct. Shytead me wore these to this level before replacing. If you get a magnifying glass you can see about .5mm of brake pad on the top side. I got the full life from it .
