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.

Impressive bite, but smooth and linear even when cold. Still offers outstanding performance on the track when hot with zero fade. I wouldn't consider anything else for a street car that sees occasional high speed track time. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I've used Hawk HP+ pads on previous vehicles and really liked them. These seem even better than I remember. Great bite when cold, good when hot (though I'm not tracking my car or anything like that), and these are totally silent. In past when I ran these pads my tiny little car always sounded like a dump truck stopping. Not anymore. Dust doesn't seem too bad either.

They work well. Don't fade etc but on a miata they squeak really badly. I wish you could buy QFM A1RM pads here.

First impression: I only have about 30 street miles on the pads but thus far they are awesome. These are my first track pads ever and although the dust is prolific I have never been able to whoa the car down with such authority. After 7 years of "lifetime" pads at the racetrack I can't express how pleased I am. I haven't hit the track yet though and that will be the true test.Squeal: I'll try to post more later but I have had minimal squeaking so far. Only after a few days did I get some squeaking right at the end of braking just before I come to a complete stop and it isn't bad. I get the feeling that if you have shims and grease them, the piston and any parts of the pad that touch the caliper that you wont' have much, if any, squeal.Dust: Yeah it's pretty heavy but I don't drive it a ton so I'll deal with that.Initial bite / fade. - Compared to the "lifetime" pads these actually have a lot more cold bite but do need to warm up a little before you can really get to stopping hard. Not too much though, just a little driving around and they are good to go.Not sure how long they'll last or if they'll eat my rotors but an American made product made in my state that is an awesome product is a win/win in my book. Happy motoring!

This product is already a market leader and as its a race pad you cannot go off my review for your car or driving. They are not a street pad so go for HPS if you are not on track most the time.Your car and driving may be better with other makes or pads but for me, they are perfect.
