frequently asked questions

Question: What is the best brake pad for my application?
Answer: There are a number of brake pad manufactures in the market. ScienceofSpeed has tested over 16 different compounds from various manufactures both on the street and on the track. Based on this testing, we have identified 4 specific compounds that work the best for their specific applications.
- Hawk HPS - street use - minimal dust/noise with improved performance over stock. Our most popular pad for most street driven vehicles.
- Hawk HP+ - street/track/autocross use - slight dust/noise over HPS but better thermal resistance. Can be used easily on the street and track.
- Carbotech Panther Plus - Excellent choice for track use such as HPDE/driver's ed / time attack / open lapping days. Tremendous brake torque available in cold and hot operating conditions. More versatile operating temperatures than XP which should be used for dedicated track cars running endurance type events. Increased dust and noise but very rotor friendly. Can be used on the street for customers not minding the dust/noise.
- Carbotech XP - Recommended for dedicated track cars running in endurance type track events. Peak operating conditions biased towards consistent high rotor temps found in endurance events. Rotor friendly but not recommended for street use due to the limited brake power in cold conditions.
