Disc brake pads...

Hawk Brake's DR 97 pads are specifically for drag race cars, their Black (medium torque) pads are for moderate drag applications. Wilwood's Polymatrix "B" or Polymatrix "E" pads are best for drag race. You will need to specify which series of caliper (Dynalite, Superlite?) you have.

Best pads I've used for the Stocker or the SG car. ....The local Stock Car boys tuned me into Hawk a few years back. ...........Call the tech guys at Hawk with your application, they are really helpfull, Especially when it comes to a foot brake application ,where you need a good cold holding pad. .....Tom

I use the polymatrix e pads on my 3300 lb 10.70 A body.Good pads,stop well and will hold the car up to 2400-2500 rpm on the footbrake.

Go to the Hawk website. They give some really good info on how to seat the new pads. I just instaled disc brakes on my car and they came with that pad.
