Here are some more information for Hawk Disc Brake:
Here are ten things you should know about auto racing brake pads.
1. There is a difference between street, autocross and racing brake pads
The biggest difference is the operating temperature and the overall coefficient of friction, according to Todd Miller, Product Manager for Hawk Brake Pads. Street pads are tuned for comfort and have to work in all type weather conditions. Autocross pads are high-performance pads that will stop better than a street pad. There are many different types of auto race pads. These are specific racing pads designed for the car and type of racing (sprint, endurance, etc).
2. There is no one "all around" racing brake pad
Every pad has trade-offs. The type of pad best suited to your needs depends upon the type of racing that you do. Performance and abuse tolerance are the most important things to consider when selecting a pad.
3. Brake pad size has a limited effect on stopping power
Racing pads required heat to work best. Andreas Boehm of Pagid Brakes points out that the size of the pad is one element of how much heat it can handle. Generally, the higher the temperature helps the car stop better. Miller also points out that the rotor, pad and caliper all play a role in the overall brake system.
4. Auto racing brake pads need to be heated up to work best
Racing pads require heat because of the chemical makeup of the friction formulation. Without heating up, a racing pad will harm the rotor and will wear more quickly. When the rotors aren't heated up properly, they will wear quicker than normal and ring-grooving will occur.
5. Avoid being too aggressive with the type of brake pad you select
Your tires really impact you in this area. As Boehm points out, "if you have flat spots or bad spots, there are definitely too aggressive of a pad for certain applications." Safety is an issue here as well. If the bite of the pad is greater than the tire can handle, you could go into a slide by locking up the tire.
6. Lots of factors cause racing pads to squeal
Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) are engineered to different levels by different manufactures of brake pads. These factors influence the degree of squeal. The hardness of racing brake pads, the axle, calipers and rotors all impact the degree of squeal. You'll also find that material composition, physical pad design, level of coefficient friction produced and transfer film quality influence squeal.
7. Brake pads can get too hot
Getting the pad too hot can cause some ingredients in the pad to evaporate out of the material. This can cause uneven wear and more noise. Some manufacturers slot or cross drill the rotors and include vents to control heat. Slotted rotors don't really help and rotor weight impacts the heat of the pad.
8. You can tell if your brake pad is too aggressive
Excessive heat can be caused by using the wrong racing brake pad. You can mainly determine this through the effort needed on the brake pedal. Sometimes you have to push the pedal too far to the floor to stop the car. This causes a lot of heat and is hard on the discs. You have an aggressive pad if you need little pedal pressure. Testing, settings, the type of racing and tires will determine the degree of aggressiveness best for you.
9. Braking harder for shorter periods of time will reduce overall heating of the brake system
Boehm says you can really notice the impact of stopping shorter and harder. There is less brake wear and lower temperatures with hard, short stopping. All pads have a maximum operating temperature. Make sure your stopping practices keep pad temperature within manufacturer specifications.
10. Look for continued developments with racing brake pads
Performance brake pads are going very much in the direction of ceramic, rotors too. Ceramic handles more heat, creates less brake dust and is better on the environment. Miller points out the buzz surrounding carbon and carbon sic (Siliconized carbon) brakes. Certain high end performance sports cars like Ferrari, Porsche, and Corvette) have Carbon Sic set ups as options. One thing is certain...cars are being built to go faster, which require better brakes and better performance. You'll continue to see more racing brake innovations.

Genuine Parts of A Porsche Car:
Porsche cars popularly are known for their uniqueness, style and classy appearance. All models of Porsche are designed individually to match the body type, specific structure and appearance.
Hence, all parts and accessories that belong to each car are specially deigned only for that respective model. For example, the wheels of specific model of Porsche car do not fit into any other model of Porsche.
The accessories or parts of Porsche make the car a special one. Ultimately, this result of thoroughly configured and researched vehicle parts makes it unique from other cars and lives to expectations of its admirers worldwide.
Porsche parts are developed after lots of detail work and examination of areas such as suspension, engine, exhaust and intake. As the wheels of this car are of many styles such as zehn, mulsanne, florio and tourismo. Mainly, the type of wheel a typical Porsche will have depends on the requirements. Moreover, these specifications of wheel may even change as per necessary car model or type. These can be sorted out into Cayman, Cayenne, Boxster and panamera.
Each of these parts is regularly tested for ensuring capacity and best performance. These parts also have their sub parts that play a main role in the cars demand and reliability lastly resulting in improved performance. Hence, these are also are handled carefully and extreme detailing.
For example, exhaust tube, which is used in Porsche has quite a few styles and capacities depending on the requirement of model, which include the Gibson exhaust, borla exhaust and turbo exhaust. Taillights, which are used in Porsche have high ability LED rays, which have colors like clear tails or tinted, dark or light smoke attached on car model due to the their styling.
For taking the car's flexibility and comfort to next level, generally Porsche cars apply complete air filters, spacers and fuel injectors. Two main requirements of Porsche car are acceleration and balance, both these depend highly on brakes. Hence, Porsche makers keep special tab on these Porsche parts.
The various brakes these models frequently make use is of disc brakes with front and rear touch sensors and OE ceramic rear brakes namely Panamera and Hawk HPS brakes.

Does brake pad thickness matter when buying new pads? Same brand for my car has different thicknesses.?
Hawk brand front disc pads for my 02 accord SE sedan 4-cyl. have different thicknesses on different sites. I'm getting ready to replace my front rotors and pads for the first time on my own. The different thickness I find are .660 and .620. I think that's 6.6 and 6.2 mm but both sites say it fits my exact car. If that's the case, should I get the thicker one at the same price to last longer?
If you can't get a set of 5MM type with metallic type of brake pads go with the thicker type this will just give you longer life of a pad. such as the 660 type.But it also has to do with the space between the caliper and rotor for space for them to fit on each side of the rotor.But overall there's not much differences for both of them for you to use.They all wear down over time and use.A word for a tip to keep your rotors from warping is to use a torque wrench when you go to put your wheels back on and tighten them down also use the torque setting for the type of wheels you have this will keep the rotors from warping from heat and cold from each time you use the brakes and let them cool when your not using them from each stop.If your rotors are not worn down or have grooves in the and can be machined i would use them before going out and buying new ones.Just take them to a machine shop to have them checked for warping and to see if they can be used before you go buy new rotors.hgm20002000@yahoo.com
