Hawk Performance HP Plus High Performance Street Brake Pads

The Hawk Performance HP Plus is a high-performance street brake pad line engineered for driving enthusiasts who demand race-level stopping power without sacrificing everyday drivability. Developed with autocross, Solo II, and track day use in mind, the HP Plus compound bridges the gap between a capable daily driver pad and a dedicated racing compound — making it an ideal choice for performance street driving and weekend competition alike.

Ferro-Carbon Friction Technology

At the core of the HP Plus line is Hawk's proprietary Ferro-Carbon friction material — an advanced compound developed specifically for performance and sport driving applications. This high-tech formulation delivers an extremely high coefficient of friction, providing a significant torque increase over OEM brake pads while offering lower wear rates than many competitive performance materials. The result is confident, powerful stopping performance across a broad operating temperature range of 100°F to 800°F, with an optimal performance window of 300°F to 600°F.

Key Features:

• Ferro-Carbon High-Tech Friction Material — Hawk's proprietary compound developed for sport driving, autocross, and track day applications
• Extremely High Friction Output — Significantly elevated coefficient of friction versus OEM brake pads for enhanced stopping power
• Superior Fade Resistance — Maintains consistent braking performance under demanding heat and repetitive heavy braking cycles
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Effective from 100°F to 800°F, with an optimal range of 300°F to 600°F
• Lower Wear Rates — Ferro-Carbon formulation extends service life compared to other competitive performance friction materials
• Smooth & Predictable Torque — Stable friction output provides confident pedal feel and precise brake modulation
• Street-to-Track Versatility — Drive to the track, compete, and drive home without needing to swap pads
• Factory Burnished — HP Plus pads are burnished as a final production step; a proper bed-in with rotors is still required before spirited use
• Compatible with Iron & Metal Rotors — Designed for use with traditional iron and metal brake rotors; not intended for use with carbon ceramic rotors
• Limited Lifetime Warranty — Backed by Hawk Performance's warranty against defects in workmanship and materials

The HP Plus line is a top choice among enthusiasts seeking a meaningful upgrade over stock brake pads for spirited street driving, autocross competition, and track day events — all without the inconvenience of a dedicated race pad swap. Available across a wide range of fitments to suit a broad variety of performance vehicles, the HP Plus represents one of Hawk Performance's most versatile and well-regarded brake pad offerings.

Note: Due to the elevated friction levels of the HP Plus compound, some increase in rotor wear, brake dust, or noise may be experienced compared to OEM pads. A proper bed-in procedure is required to maximize performance and longevity.
