Important Note:

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's HP Plus Sport Pads (Original Compound) are designed for use on the road, as well as provide a high level of performance at an Autocross or Track Day event.

The high friction level of Hawk HP Plus (Original Compound) pads will be more responsive than most standard original equipment brakes and their high resistance to brake fade makes them a superb upgrade for driving enthusiasts. Due to the aggressive nature of this pad compound though, increased noise and dust should be expected over other street compounds.

NOTE: Hawk HP Plus Sport Pads built before and on 07/16/18 were manufactured using their original compound versus their new, updated compound.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Suitable for club and autocross events
  • High friction level for responsiveness and resistance to brake fade
  • Elevated temperature resistance

Note:

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.

Even though Hawk Performance burnishes its brake pads as a final step in the factory, all brake pads must be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used with. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
