HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and “track day” applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials. Extremely high coefficient of friction makes HP Plus the perfect upgrade over stock for high performance streetcars used in autocross competition or that experience repetitive, heavy braking. Warning: Due to the dramatic friction levels produced by this product to achieve "race-level" braking, rotor wear, noise, dust and pad life may be affected. Note: Hawk Performance burnishes its HP Plus brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.

Hawk DTC-30:Originally a dirt track pad, but also used for street and mild track use.& My favorite Autocross pad.Claimed temp range: 100F-1200 FClaimed optimal: 100F-800 FFriction coefficient: 0.5Rotor wear: MediumNoise: mild but consistent squeaking.Dust levels: mediumCold bite: excellentHot bite: excellentVery hot bite (800F+): decent, but nothing like what dedicated track pads can deliver.These seem to work well with manual brakes.Most likely because these were originally circle track pads.Most race cars don't have boosted brakes. Not all pads like manual brakes.The DCT30 is better than the HP+ in every way except noise.Better cold and hot bite.Better temp rangeSimilar dust and rotor wear.No weird temp characteristics like the HP+.Easier to modulate.But it tends to squeak a bit more than the HP+, but it's not a super loud sequel.I like these DCT30s, they are my current go-to Autocross pad.I even run a DCT30 in the rear of my 92 for track use.Since the rears stay around 800-900F and don't get 1,200F+ like the fronts.Note: This pad will NOT survive on the front if you have a very fast car.I used front DCT30 for a wet cold track day.Didn't get any brake fade, but it was 60F and wet.Rotor temps were 857F

Just dusty, or I would leave 5 stars.

HP plus are always my go to pad for autocross. Predictable with good initial bite and a progressive feel. Be sure to bed them in as recommended and they will deliver. I use them in Wilwood Super light calipers, and if you do the same make sure to order the correct thickness. I learned this the hard way, wont be a problem on OEM calipers. If you are concerned about brake dust these may not be the pad for you, performance is outstanding.
