1984–1996 Chevrolet Corvette / 1988–1997 Pontiac Firebird

Part #: HB112S.540

Overview

If you're a performance enthusiast seeking reliable, high-performance brake pads for your Corvette or Firebird, the Hawk Performance HT-10 Race Rear Brake Pads are an excellent choice. Designed specifically for racing and spirited driving, these pads deliver exceptional stopping power and modulation in medium temperature ranges. Whether you're on the track or pushing your vehicle to its limits on the street, the HT-10 pads provide consistent, controllable braking performance that helps you maintain confidence and control under demanding conditions.

Built for drivers who demand more from their braking system, these pads excel in delivering smooth initial bite and predictable pedal feel. They are engineered to support high torque loads and maintain performance across a broad operating temperature range, making them suitable for aggressive driving styles while still offering excellent modulation for precise braking control.

Key Features

The Hawk Performance HT-10 Race Rear Brake Pads incorporate advanced materials and design features to optimize braking performance and durability. Here are some of the key features:

• High-performance friction compound formulated for racing and high-performance street use, providing excellent static and dynamic coefficient of friction for consistent braking.
• Designed to operate effectively within a medium temperature range of 300–1300°F (149–704°C), ensuring reliable performance during intense driving sessions.
• Excellent modulation characteristics allow for precise control over braking force, helping prevent lock-up and reducing brake fade during extended use.
• Constructed specifically for use with iron or metal rotors, as Hawk's compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, ensuring optimal material pairing and performance.
• Suitable for applications requiring high torque braking, making them ideal for track days, autocross, and spirited street driving.
• Hawk's legacy of performance and durability makes these pads a trusted choice among racing teams and enthusiasts alike.

Construction & Design

The HT-10 brake pads feature a proprietary friction formulation combined with precision manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent performance and longevity. The pads are made from Hawk's high-quality, race-grade compounds that provide a high coefficient of friction while maintaining low noise and dust levels. The backing plates are engineered for strength and stability, ensuring proper pad alignment and even wear over time.

The design emphasizes durability under high-stress conditions, with materials chosen to resist fade and thermal degradation. The pads are engineered to work seamlessly with iron or metal rotors, providing reliable, fade-free braking even during repeated high-performance stops. Their construction ensures a firm pedal feel and predictable response, critical for competitive and spirited driving scenarios.

Installation & Fitment

Installing the Hawk Performance HT-10 Race Rear Brake Pads is a straightforward process for those familiar with brake service. These pads are designed as direct replacements for the factory rear pads on compatible Corvette (1984–1996) and Firebird (1988–1997) models. No special modifications, cutting, or drilling are required, and the pads are compatible with existing hardware and rotors.

For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to bed-in the pads properly following installation instructions. Regular inspection and maintenance will ensure maximum lifespan and consistent braking performance.
