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.

These are legit, they fit and function well. Cheaper here than elsewhere, so was skeptical.NOTE Amazon says these do not fit a 2020 WRX STI. That is incorrect. If that's the car you're here for (2018+ STI) - these will work.

These brake pads are absolutely fantastic.And make 0 noise.I am shocked at the fact there is almost most no break dust!!!

Great improvement over the factory Brembo pads that sounded like a bus stopping at slow speeds. These perform great after the proper bedding process and now my wheels aren't covered in dust after a single drive. There was a slot for the brake sensor as well.

Most extreme amount of dust I have ever seen from brakes. So bad that I'm going to have to replace them.

I have a 2013 GT500 and was looking for a replacement for the factory OEM brembo pads. After a decent amount of research, I settled on these pads. I had them installed at a shop and they rub the rotors. I had the shop take a second look and they confirmed they were installed properly. I bedded the pads exactly as Hawk instucted. I took my car to the track, as I regularly do, and these pads were awful! They started to fade much quicker then the OEM pads and totally failed quickly after the fade started - I had no warning and ended up off track for the first time ever. I know these aren’t “track” pads, but they should at least hold up to the factory pads, per Hawks description. In any event, based off the rotor rubbing, massive break dust and quick break fade, I do not recommend them and will be replacing them next week.

Awful braking when they're cold or when you don't drive the car continuously. They are decent for the price. I will however be returning to semi-metallics though.

So far, these are proving to be a good option for a street ISF. Had EBC Red Stuffs on my IS350, and they braked extremely hard compared to these...but they also left uneven deposits and "warped" the hell out of two sets of rotors...oh, and the dust was incredibly corrosive!!! So these Hawks are less aggressive, definitely good enough for aggressive street driving, and they don't dust too much or screw up your rotors.

These pads were bought when my mind decided to replace both the rotors and pads on a weekend for my 2005 Mercedes Benz SLK55 AMG.As described by some on-line comments, these pads are extremely low dust for the ride. They were quite easy to break-in, offering better performance in my opinion compared to the stock pads. They are not grabby when hot, if they ever get hot. The MB dealer shared an opinion that these pads may damage my disks since these are a bit harder compound as to the original pad. After some 30,000 miles, I have not noticed any premature wearing of the rotors (my AMG version comes with a six piston caliper, and drilled, slotted, vented rotors).Best investment on my brake performance for the buck.
