Hawk Performance Brake Pads - Ceramic PC • HPS 5.0 • DTC-60 • DTC-70
Precision Stopping Power for High-Performance GM LT Platforms
When you start pushing your Camaro harder, more power, more grip, more speed — the factory brake pads quickly become a weak link. Brake pads are not just about stopping distance. They determine:
That’s why Hawk Performance brake compounds have become a gold standard in motorsports and high-performance street driving.
At Griffin Motorsports, we’ve simplified Hawk’s extensive lineup into four carefully selected compounds that cover nearly every real-world use case for modern performance cars. Instead of overwhelming customers with dozens of options, we focus on the compounds that actually make sense for the Camaro.
Whether you're building a clean street car, canyon carver, weekend track toy, or full track weapon, we have the correct pad compound for your driving style.
Why Hawk Brake Pads?
Hawk pads use advanced Ferro-Carbon and ceramic friction materials engineered for consistent braking across a wide temperature range.
Benefits include:
• High friction coefficient for strong bite
• Improved fade resistance under heat
• Predictable pedal feel
• Reduced rotor wear compared to many aggressive race compounds
• Motorsports-proven durability
Unlike many cheaper brake pads that lose friction as temperatures climb, Hawk compounds are engineered to maintain consistent braking performance lap after lap.
Choosing the Right Hawk Pad for Your Driving Style
OPTION.1 - Hawk Performance Ceramic (PC)
Best for: Daily Drivers & Clean Street Builds
If your priority is quiet operation, low dust, and smooth braking, the Hawk Performance Ceramic pad is the ideal upgrade from factory pads.
Ceramic compounds are engineered to produce significantly less brake dust, keeping your wheels cleaner while still providing excellent street stopping power. Key Benefits:
• Ultra-low brake dust
• Quiet operation
• Smooth, consistent pedal feel
• Long pad life
• Gentle on rotors
Temperature Range: Approx. 100°F – 600°F
Perfect For;
• Daily driven performance cars
• Show cars and Cars & Coffee builds
• Drivers who want clean wheels
• Street-focused ZL1 / SS
If your car rarely sees a race track and you want refined braking without the mess, Ceramic PC pads are a fantastic choice.
OPTION.2 - Hawk HPS 5.0
Best for: Aggressive Street & Spirited Driving. The HPS 5.0 compound is one of Hawk’s most popular performance street pads. Compared to factory pads, HPS 5.0 offers:
• Higher friction coefficient
• Stronger initial bite
• Better heat resistance
• More confident pedal feel
Yet it remains quiet and civilized enough for everyday driving. Key Benefits.
• High friction performance street compound
• Excellent pedal modulation
• Low noise and low dust compared to race pads
• Handles aggressive canyon driving
Temperature Range - Approx. 100°F – 750°F
Perfect For:
• Spirited street driving
• Canyon carving
• Occasional autocross
• Street cars with power upgrades
If your Camaro makes 700+ horsepower and factory pads feel inadequate, HPS 5.0 is a fantastic step up.
OPTION.3 - Hawk DTC-60
Best for: Track Days & Dual-Purpose Track Cars. When serious heat enters the equation, street compounds simply cannot keep up. The Dynamic Torque Control (DTC-60) compound is a true motorsports brake pad designed for high-temperature track environments. Key Benefits.
• Extremely high friction coefficient
• Excellent fade resistance
• Strong initial bite
• Outstanding modulation during threshold braking
• Proven in road racing environments
Temperature Range - Approx. 400°F – 1600°F
Perfect For:
• Track days
• Road racing
• Heavy braking zones
• High-horsepower track cars
DTC-60 provides a balance between aggressive stopping power and controllable modulation, making it a favorite among road racers and track-day enthusiasts.
OPTION.4 - Hawk DTC-70
Best for: Maximum Track Performance. For drivers pushing the absolute limits, DTC-70 is Hawk’s most aggressive compound we offer. This compound is engineered for extreme braking environments where sustained high temperatures demand the strongest friction possible.
Key Benefits:
• Extremely high torque output
• Maximum braking force
• Outstanding fade resistance
• Designed for professional motorsports
Temperature Range - Approx. 400°F – 1800°F
Perfect For:
• Dedicated race cars
• Slick tire track builds
• Heavy aero cars
• Drivers demanding maximum braking torque
Because of the aggressive friction characteristics, DTC-70 is not recommended for daily street use due to dust, noise, and rotor wear. But on track, they deliver incredible stopping power and consistency.
