Axxis Deluxe Advanced street
pads (formerly called Deluxe Plus) are ideal if you are looking for a low dust pad that is quiet and rotor friendly, yet has
enough fade resistance for
performance cars. These ceramic-enhanced organic pads work well up to 716
°F, similar to OEM pads.

Axxis ULT street pads
pads (formerly called Axxis Ultimate) use a Kevlar®
and ceramic formula for enhanced performance. They produce maximum
friction when cold, yet have tremendous fade resistance up to 932 °F. The
coefficient of friction is high enough to produce a noticeable reduction in
pedal effort. Fine for autocross or your first
track event, assuming street tires and a low horsepower car.

Hawk HPS high performance street pads have
low dust, low noise, and low rotor wear. Slightly higher in friction
level than Hawk Ceramic pads with a similar MOT of
around 750°F. Not recommended for track use, as their
friction level falls off rapidly when the MOT is exceeded.

Hawk HP PLUS high performance street pads have
moderate dust, moderate rotor wear, very high initial bite and similar MOT
to Hawk HPS of
around 750°F. They tend to be noisy, sometimes squealing under light
braking, although
proper bedding can help. Ideal for autocross.
Not recommended for track use, as their
friction level falls off rapidly when MOT is exceeded, just like the
Hawk HPS.

Hawk Blue 9012 Race pads have a stable
torque curve, good bite, and a MOT of 1,050°F. Low to moderate rotor
wear when warm, but extremely high rotor wear when cold. Works well
for track use in the front of lower horsepower, front-engine cars with less
experienced drivers. Advanced drivers can overheat this pad on medium
to heavy cars. We primarily use this pad as a "tool" to remove
pad deposits from rotors.

Performance and Winter Tires |
|
Besides brakes, tires are the
most important component in determining stopping distance. It's literally
where the rubber meets the road. Selecting the right tire for your driving
conditions can make a tremendous difference. For example, if you live in
Florida or southern California and are driving on all-season tires, you are
leaving huge performance gains on the table! A good set of summer-only
performance tires can literally transform the handling and braking capabilities
of your car. In fact, if your goal is to minimize stopping distance,
you're better off going to Tire Rack's web site and buying tires first, before
spending any money here on better brakes!
For the best selection and
prices, we recommend Tire Rack.
From Maximum Performance tires to All Season tires to Snow Tires, Tire Rack has
it all. Tire Rack also offers wheel and tire packages and can even tell
you which wheels will clear your StopTech big brake upgrade. Click the
Tire Rack icon below for your best deal on wheels and tires.
For wheel fitment information
for cars equipped with StopTech or other big brake kits, contact Luke Pavlick at
(888)541-1777 x362.
