From KNS...

We are excited to announce the release of the new Hawk ER-1 Endurance Series Racing brake pads. Hawk has been one of our most trusted suppliers since 2005. This new compound fills a needed slot in the Hawk lineup for an endurance race pad that has medium to high friction and long life.

* 400° F -1600° F Operating Temperature Range
* 700° F -1100° F Optimal Temperature Range
* Superior pad and rotor wear
* Consistent, medium to high friction ideal for endurance racing, HPDE, and club racing.

We are updating our website with over 150 applications and we look forward to trying these new pads out!

Just want to add one testimonial from myself this past weekend. I ran 650 miles in 3 days on the Carbotech xp-12's. My last session was 1 hour of constant driving time at VIR North. I drove them fairly hard, doing most laps around 2:08-2:10 at VIR Full. Never experienced any brake fade but not sure how much life I have left in them.

I was braking at the 4 or maybe just before the 4 all weekend long. The pads felt better after maybe 2 sessions as well. I had pre bedded them on the street but it was a fairly fast process so I may not have done it correctly. 5 stops from 45-15, then 60-15, then 3 from 80-15

your bedding was pretty much bang on. When in doubt, ref manufacturer website as they always have their bedding procedures there.
One thing to keep in mind is, xp12 doesn't last long. So check how much pads you have left, lest you could get metal on rotors and destroy the latter. cheers!

I just ordered a set of Ferodo 3.12s from KNS to replace the 1.11s I have been running. Should be a good change with the different tires and wheels I'll be using.

Yeah, what pads do last long then? I hear the Hawks don't last long either and on top of that they are hard on the rotors, but they have better stopping power than other pads. I'll probably stick with the XP12's for now and try something else after.

Sounds like a plan, butbdo remind me: what's the advantage of the Giro over a whole Bremboni assy?

Pads that last long? Not on a 3800lb car

My personal preference for this car are stock Ferodos, which last me about 6 days, permit fastest groups and zero extra maintenance, nor parts for the brakes (because they dont run hot). But, a lot of folks have run all kinds of pads depending on what they like. Except when they exceed OEM designed heat management and then you gotta start switching parts, or rebuilding stuff frequently. Personal preference plays a big role. For example, I do not like high torque compounds, which have more of binary off/on feel and dont permit carrying them deep as in trail braking. But that's just me. Cheers!

Trying the DSUNO pads at the Sebring TT. I am a huge fan of the Ferodo OEM pad.

Big fan as well! Ran DSUNOs on my C5Z track car with AP Racing Sprint kit. Liked them a lot. They do run hot though and we needed to overhaul the calipers (my Vette didnt have any aftermarket cooling). Just an fyi. I think for our cars, I'd pick 1.11 for an aggressive pad, which delivers a nice flat torque curve and is their longest lasting compound. But, thankfully I really like the stockers, incl their price Cheers!

Good to know and I appreciate the tip. I was looking at the 1.11, but Ken told me the DSUNO felt the most like OEM+ (He has a ZLE, so I listened).


I was also thinking since the TT format is only 15 minute sessions vs 25, that they wouldn't get as scorching. I have a set of Ti shims...would they be worth using? I'm always wary of shims because I know that heat has to go somewhere and it winds up in the pad and rotor.
