Reviews of Hawk Performance parts For Business

Hawk HPS are outstanding, good bite with very linear feel and low dust

My 92 has had all new MC's, brake lines, rotors, caliper, wheel cylinders and drums. The front shoes are Hawk Perf ceramic, and the shoes are from AutoZone. The Brakes on that car are firm.

I've been happy with my Hawk HPS. I don't track my car, but they handle the dragon fine.

I use Hawk HP Plus pads on track days. They bite great when cold and can take some punishment. They howl like a banshee during normal braking

All the people complaining about the noise of the Hawk, i cannot say that i experience the same result. They are a little squeakier than the OEM pads of course, but they aren't like full on race brake loud like people have reported. Maybe my experience is the outlier here, because i was really happy actually with them on the track

HP+ are fine on the track. They are not full-on race pads, but they will hold you down for the first few days back. We run those on the Scirocco LeMons car - it's so light that it never gets the brakes beyond warm. I also run them with summer tyres on my wagon - Great balanced pad that lets you know you are braking.

Ive run HP+ recently at road atlanta for an hpde with NASA. While they are loud i never had any issues with them on track. I was running in a stock brake e36m3 on slicks.

I think HP+ make good track pads for HDPE first timers. I had them on the front of my car when I first started taking it to the track. I liked the initial bite of them. That said, for someone with track day experience like yourself, you might find and exceed their limit fairly quickly.

The hawk hps are great. The dust is really easy to clean. I argee the initial bite is not as good as stock. Do not use on the track i over heated them as well.

From my personal experience with the hawk hps pads, stay away from them. Absolutely garbage past normal operating temperatures. They were however quiet and low dust.
