How much are aou guys paying for hawk pads and where are you getting them form

 

www.speedmachineperformance.com has the 4 wheel set of hawks HP+ for $120

 

I just ordered mine from Racing Beat, $49.50 a set, plus shipping. They arrived quickly.

 

you live in toronto ?..... ever heard of performance improvements .... well i work at the scarborough location as for pricing i am unsure as i have not checked for myself yet ... but i know both kvr and keystone deal them ... so even any parts source can source them for you

 

Get the part number off of the Hawk website. Go to the Canadian Tire parts counter and tell them you need to do a "keystone" order. I think it was $46 for rear HPS pads. Someone off of here mentioned that you could do it, I tried it, it worked.

 

I guess we should know which compound your looking for. We run hawk blue 9012 and they are a lot more money than what has been quoted above. What are you using the pads for? Street/track?

 

yeah theory u ordered the hawks hps, not the hp+

 

Its for a 85 se more street and some track

Yeah I should have stated that. They are going on this weekend. We'll see how they work out.

They ship out of Ottawa.

 

yes they do ship out of ottawa however it is cheeper to get hawk pads from keystone rather than going drect /.. its strange how that works but its what ive seen thus far

 

I've tried getting Hawk pads out of the Keystone Catalogue at two Crappy Tires in Hamilton, couldn't get them for a 88 TII.

 

Keystone Canada which Canadian Tire uses doesn't list them, I use the same account here at PartSource and I can only get the rears.

I just ordered them from No Limits Auto here in Ottawa (right next to KVR)
and got them for around $120 for front/back for Hawk HPS (give or take a few bucks)

Just find a Keystone dealer in town that has a US Keystone account and they should be able to get them.

I've used them on the track once and they were pretty awsome. Great Pad for a mainly street driven car, however you may want to put some anti-squeal compound on the back of the pads

 

Going to Northern Motorsports tomorrow.

 

On a related note, does anyone have Hawk HT-10s or Blue front pads I can borrow for a couple of hours? I glazed my rotors and the Hawks are abrasive enough to clean them up with a couple of hard stops...I'll gladly reimburse for the wear I put on the pads.

 

Bring them to PartSource and have them machine them, take .002" of each side of the rotor.
Used to cost $10.99/rotor but just got bumped up to $14.99 a rotor. May still be 10.99 in other locations though, not sure. Still alot easier then finding someone to lend you a set of pads

 

Shane, are you sure that the glazing is a poor thing? All performance pads leave a coating on the rotor when they are working well. What pads were you using?

A Hawk Black or Blue or a PFC race pad should leave a slight blueish or blackish coating on your rotor.

Just think that you finally got the pads and rotors hot enough to work.

Eric, definitely glazed...they were working really well with nice evenly coloured blue rotors up until I beat the hell out of them at Dunnville last week. I'm on Carbotech XP10s which are supposed to be a race compound but I got them out of their heat range...I now have heavy vibration while braking and this is what they look like now.




Usually if that happened, I'd just get new rotors but they're almost brand new with hardly any wear on them.

I'm going with PF 01 pads next time around.

 

Northern Motorsports on Parkdale in Hamilton had HPS and HP+ in stock. $90 fronts, $90 rears for HP+. $65 F, $65 R i think for HPS.

 

Crappy tire here didn't list them, I had to give them the number and they ordered on faith.
