Do you mean the pads? The part numbers are in the very first post.

No the hardware, the springs and pins that hold the pads in place.

Are they not included with the pads when you buy replacements? Most companies include that hardware with their pads. For the price of these pads, I'd expect them to!

I think stoptech are the only ones that include new hardware, and I'm using Hawks. Been using the same hardware for 2 & 1/2 years, time for replacements.

Don't know the OEM PN's, but for what it's worth, these look like the correct Centric PN's:

Front: 117.62070
Rear: 117.62079

Haven't personally tried these though.

What is the hawk pad of choice for mostly autocross and 3-4 track days a year while still driving it on the street to and from these places?

[JacobC1983]

Well crud, I have been reading this thread and see most people discuss the track but not track and autocross. Maybe I should just call hawk.

Any help would be very much appreciated. On this last track day I had some brake fade with the stock pads even with my Dot4 fluid.

Interesting Coby Shield just won the Street GT class season at Glidlife Time Attack using PowerStop Track day pads all season. (one of his sponsors)

Cost for complete set = $185 at RockAuto

Just picked up DBS rotors from Ken @ KNS and DTC 70 front and rear. Recommend him as others have, explained my issue and had solid answers. Will post how it goes and how they feel... as it is now a track only car...

I know it's late, but I think it's best to switch to a track pad for track days. The OE pads will hold up ok, but they will wear fast and have some fade on a big track. Plus they are expensive. Ive been using the OE pads for street and AX (10+ events/year), and switching to Power Stop Track Day pads for track days. The Power Stop pads are cheap, they have zero fade and good bite, but not too much to easily induce ice mode on OE or street tires. If you are using a track tire like a NT01, you might want more pad bite. But then you have to play the delicate balance between pad bite and tire grip, which really becomes an experiment and depends on your driving style.

I don't think there is a perfect one-pad solution for street-AX-track that is any better the OE pad. If there is, I'd like to know as well! Once you get used to the pad swap routine, it's really very easy and doesn't take much time. You don't even have to put the car on jack stands.

Also I would recommend Castrol SRF for brake fluid. Once you start using hotter pads you'll need it. My last track day (TNiA) had 350-400 degree caliper temps and 500+ rotor temps with only 20 minute sessions. That's hot enough to boil Dot-4.

BTW anyone use titanium shims to help block heat transfer with more aggressive pads?

You will absolutely need them. Plus: ideally vented pistons. Either way, budget for caliper rebuilds, as miracles dont happen as heat is heat regardless. SRF is also a must, pretty much.

Thanks. Ordered this morning. Will advise how all this goes...
