Choosing the Right Compound
Street daily: Hawk HPS, EBC Redstuff, Akebono Euro — quiet, low dust, all-temp. Spirited street + canyon: Hawk HP+, EBC Yellowstuff, Project Mu HC+ — bites cold, holds heat. Track day: Endless MX72, Project Mu HC800, Hawk DTC-60 — designed for repeated hot stops. Race only: Carbotech XP, Performance Friction Z-Rated, Pagid RSL — cold bite is poor, never use on the street.
