What are everyones thoughts between the two? I have run the XP-12's and loved them, but alot of people tell me the hawks last longer and put less heat in the rotor.
Hawk HT-10's Vs Carbotech XP-12's

Ditto on the XP12s(Brembo caliper)....
I have only heard very good feed back on the hawks... with the possible exception of rotor wear.
I am also interested to see if folks have run both.... and how they compared...
I think you should send me a free pair of the carbotechs for evaluation purposes

If I had the money I would. I would love to get your opinion. You have been useful for tech info.
I ran the carbotechs all last year coming over from the hawks ..... I will be buying the carbotechs again .... IMO .. better stopping ability than my hawks gave me ...carbotechs still have a ton of life in them after running RA, Putnam, Gingerman and Autobahn

Wait a minute?! :dw: You ran RA, Putnam, Gingerman and A-B on the same set of pads?!
pads
Bruce, some guys give their pads a brake!!

Guys,
I tried a set of carbotechs and they came apart on me. Hawks are too hard of rotors. You need to try PF 01 in the front and PF 90 in the rear. Most all my open track friends here in Texas have settled on PF pads. Both for open track, NASA, and SCCA races.

That will be my next set... Way too many guys love em to ignore.
A little expensive but over all best bang for the buck...(or so I've heard) Nearly all the really fast guys(heavy cars) in Texas I have talked to swear by them.
When my Carbos are gone PF 01 and PF 90s here I come!!!:thumbsup:
Joe can you leave the 90s on for the street in the rear??? I hate changing those rears out:whine: :cryying: I run the Galphers up front on my original rotors for the street... Not that noisy at all... I like them.
Yep, Galphers are great for the street. They actually work pretty good for the track also except they wear out too fast. The 90 are fine for the street. They are really friendly to the rotors and last a long time.
Where are you guys ordering your PF's from. I might have to try a set.

You are supposed to brake ???? I knew I was doing something wrong ..... :burnout: :-D

Driving style and whether or not you are running cooling ducts make a big difference in pad choice. I have cooling ducts and have run both Hawk blue and black pads (on an '03 Cobra). Did not build enough heat in either one and they came apart. The HP+ pads work perfectly for me. Get some Brake Temp Paint (sold everywhere) so you can determine your exact heat range (critical for any pad to work) then make your choice.
