- Extremely high friction output
- Fade resistant
- Autocross and club racing events
- The ultimate double duty friction compound
Product Description
Hawk Performance’s HP Plus brake pad compound is ideal for Autocross and Track Day drivers looking for a high performance race compound that can take the heat of the track and get you home safely without having to change the pads. 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.

Great pads but hella noisy
By R. Semov
I bought those for my S2000 Honda. They brake very well but let me tell ya, they're hella noisy, and I mean not just noisy, but ridiculously noisy. In fact, so noisy everyone is looking over their shoulder to see what the hell is going on. They are probably louder than a big rig. People ask me when was the last time I changed my brakes and have this blank stare when I say "two months ago", they thought it's time for me to change my old, worn out brakes.The brakes are especially noisy right before you do a complete stop, at 5-10 mph. They're not noisy if you are on the freeway, braking at 40-70 mph.These brakes are for the race track but I absolutely do not recommend them on the street. Unless you want to annoy the hell out of everybody. The noise is simply ridiculous.Yet, I'm giving them 5 stars because the brakes are very good, just that I bought them for the wrong reason.

Good HPDE pads; not so good for street
By Bastila
Got these pads for my S2000 for this year's HPDE season. Here's what I think...Pro: Excellent stopping power, excellent pedal feel, good heat resistance (more than enough for HPDE 1)Con: Dust, noises at street speeds/pedal applicationFor my current needs, the HP+ are perfect. During my last track day, they didn't fade and stopped reliably lap after lap. Take for granted I am in HPDE 1, I wasn't going that fast. However, the HPS I used last year started fading after only 3 laps on the same track. Pedal feel is firm, and easily modulated. Stopping power is much better than stock pads (same tires). I couldn't find a single fault on the track for the HP+ pads.Now, on the street... They squeal, a lot, especially during light brake pressure. And dust. My front wheels are black after 1.5 months of driving, with couple of track days thrown in the middle.I am willing to deal with those for track performance. If you are only going to use this pad for street driving, HPS would be the better choice. Track, HP+ all the way.
