BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
Hawk Performance's HP Plus disc brake pads are designed for sports cars, coupes and sedans for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and many “track day” applications. Additionally, the Hawk Performance HP Plus Ferro-Carbon compound can take the heat at the track and get you home safely without having to change your brake pads in and out. This compound was designed for the serious street and autocross enthusiast.
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.
The high friction level of Hawk HP Plus pads will be more responsive than most standard original brakes and their high resistance to brake fade makes them a superb upgrade for high performance streetcars used in competition, for high speed driving or that encounter repetitive heavy braking.
Key Features and Benefits of Hawk HP Plus Brake Pads:
- Extremely high friction output
- Suitable for autocross events
- Race worthy for club racing
- Elevated temperature resistance
Brake pads are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Pads should be replaced when approximately 1/8th inch of friction material remains on the steel backing plate.
NOTE:
Even though Hawk Performance burnishes its brake pads as a final step in the factory, 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 HPS - High Performance Street Brake Pads
Las pastillas Hawk Performance HP Plus para frenos de discos han sido diseñadas para vehículos deportivos, cupé y sedán que participen en autocross, Solo II y cualquier competencia de circuito o pista. Estas pastillas con Ferro-Carbón pueden soportar el calor de la competencia y llevarlo de vuelta a casa sano y salvo, sin necesidad de cambiarlas. Fueron diseñadas para los verdaderos entusiastas de competencias y carreteras.
¡Advertencia!: Debido a los dramáticos niveles de fricción producidos por este producto para poder alcanzar el frenado necesario a nivel de competencia; el desgaste del disco, los niveles de ruido, polvo y vida útil, son afectados.
Los niveles de fricción más altos y mayor resistencia al debilitamiento causado por el calor, hace que estas pastillas sean un opción más avanzada que las pastillas originales estándares para uso en vehículos de alto rendimiento en carreteras, competencia o con uso continuo de los frenos.
Características claves y beneficios de las pastillas Hawk HP Plus:
- Extrema fuerza de fricción.
- Conveniente para eventos de autocross.
- Excelente para carreras de clubes.
- Resistentes a temperaturas elevadas.
El uso continuo de las pastillas de frenos hace que se desgaten, por lo tanto deben ser inspeccionadas y reemplazadas cuando sea necesario. Las pastillas deben ser reemplazada cuando solo queda 1/8 de pulgada del material de fricción sobre el plato de soporte.
NOTA:Las pastillas Hawk Performance son pulidas en la última fase de fabricación, sin embargo deben tener un período de adaptación a los discos nuevos o usados, esto optimizará su desempeño.

I have these HP Plus pads on an Integra Type R brake setup on my 2200lb Civic hatchback. Car has 200HP. At the track I experienced zero fade and reliable stops from 95-30mph repeatedly, without letting the brakes rest. These pads are great for any light car with a decent brake setup. I imagine if you have a heavier car these will burn up quickly on the track.
On the street, they are noisy and produce a ton of brake dust. That is not an exageration. They are squeaky and produce a ton of brakedust!!
Great track pads for any sub-2300lb car!

I give it all 10 on all things but noise. These brake pads are ridiculously loud, I don t think I ve ever heard anything as loud. Good to use on the race track but no way in the street unless you want everyone to be looking at you with that "what the hell??" look. Less than 2 months after installation I m ordering the street brakes, these are going back on the shelf, can t handle this noise.

Good brake pads for track days. Brake pads are noticeably more responsive than stock pads with less pedal effort. Stopping power is excellent for both street and driving on the racetrack (not racing). Pads can be faded, but only with repeated very hard stops on the track. The downsides are they generate a lot of dust and are noisy.
