That amounts to making the pads behave somewhat less effectively as either heat sinks or insulation, as more thermal energy - heat - is passing through them more quickly. It's a problem in thermal transient behavior. Incidentally, I came across some slightly different mu curves for some of Hawk's pads, only a couple of weeks ago. And information that Hawk has reformulated at least the HP+. DTC60 DTC70 Norm

Super! Keep in mind ya dont have to go fast to cool down the car effectively. Even paddock speeds help here (with unlatched hood). Cheers!

What i have attempted to convey, is that a pad torque should be matched to essential variables such as venue type, tire type, aero level, cooling, etc. Another consideration is that race pads (regardless of their torque levels) are designed with race cars in mind. That means, on average 2600lb. Nascar stock cars excepted (3400lb) i am not aware of a single pro race car scaling close to 4000lb. If there was such an animal, it would require tremendous cooling capability plus components designed to withstand tremendous heat: much higher than an average 2600lb GT type car. So, no wonder folks are smoking their brakes (especially at venues offering limited cooling opportunities). |

My J6H ZL1 1LE front calipers have the J57 vented pistons in them - put in there by yours truly. As FYI, J57 rear calipers for the above vehicles do not have vented pistons. |

Similar experience to TrackClub - I was not happy with ST-43 performance. They lasted long, but temps seemed too hot (did not measure), had pad fade, and I just didn't jive with the overall pad behavior. |
