The HP Plus brake pad compound from Hawk Performance is ideal for drivers of Autocross and Track Day looking for a race compound that can handle the heat of the track and get you home safely without needing to change the pads.
Developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II, and 'track day' applications, HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material.
The formulation of Ferro-Carbon offers higher torque values and lower wear rates than other competitive materials.
The extremely high coefficient of friction makes HP Plus a perfect upgrade over stock for high-performance streetcars used in autocross competition or that experience repetitive, heavy braking.
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.
Hawk Performance burnishes its HP Plus brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads must be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against.
Proper bedding-in of new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
