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.Hawk Performance HB191N.590 HP Plus Brake Pad Review
I use this pad as a track day compound on my 84 corolla (AE82 with 4AGE 20v). Its a fairly light car (~2000 lbs dry) with 160 HP and 205 Dunlop star specs so it can stop and turn :)Works pretty well with the slightly larger, thicker rotors from the ae101 corollas. These pads lasted 4 track days (4x20min session each) - 3 days at Mission Raceway with 1 day an Pacific Raceways in Seattle. Mission is tough tough tough on brakes and these seem to work on this really light car (~2000 lbs dry). can be safely driven to track, lots of dust, lots of bite, can take decent heat levels - I only got them to fade once because I was rookie braking (too long on brakes and not hard enough). I haven't used R-comp tires or true track compounds so adjust your expectations accordingly. Will probably add cooling before I ever consider upgrading to track compound. Also - these are probably overkill for a street-only car... especially a small one.
