01Options and what their makers say
| COMPOUND | STATED TEMPERATURES | DUST / NOTES | SOURCE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawk Performance HP+ 'Ideal for Autocross' — low to mid temperature range; street + occasional track use per Hawk's placement | 100–800 °F operating; 300–600 °F optimal | not stated Not compatible with carbon-ceramic rotors. | Hawk Performance — HP+ |
Street compounds bite from cold and dust less; track compounds need heat (Hawk's DTC ranges start at 400 °F) and are not listed for street. EBC says Yellowstuff is a street pad and that track use pushes past its 400 °C fade threshold. None of these makers publish a per-car pad recommendation here; per-car part numbers are missing until read from the maker's catalog.
