Hawk Performance HP Plus Brake Pad HB145N.570 Review

I bought this for my HPDE. This is normal and generally recommended for beginners, but as your speed increases, HP+ becomes insufficient.

These rubbers are excellent for autocross. They get a little dusty but when broken in properly I don't hear them squeak, just a little under 5mph and the sound bounces off other cars.

Works great, no question. I've had great results with these pads with a Motul RBF600 on a race car and they didn't go away all day. I also use them outdoors sometimes and the only (minor) problem is a small squeak.

Good autocross and track brake pads for city use. The downside is that they produce a lot of dust and may not work on long workouts or hot days. Lubricate the brake pads to eliminate the squeak.

I have this on my S2000. It's a daily ride but they've seen track day in the AMP and held up well. These pads are also very grippy in cold weather. I had to recalibrate my foot after putting them on, even for daily driving, to avoid whiplash. They squeak under light braking (e.g. going through a red light), otherwise they would have gotten 5 stars. We also use HP+ on our 24 hour lemon car and get 75+ hours of racing from them.

I bought these for my s2000 for a day at the track and they have held up great. However, they are extremely noisy outside. The squeak is very loud, often when the car is parked in front of a large group of people (it's a little embarrassing to see them flinch at the loud squeal). I knew they were loud when I bought them, but I didn't realize how loud they really are. People don't exaggerate. The brake dust is also terrible, but I can live with that. Don't buy them for the street.

Bought these pads for my S2000 for the HPDE season this year. That's what I think. Pros: Great stopping power, great pedal feel, good heat resistance (more than enough for HPDE 1). Cons: Dust, noise at street speeds/pedals. For my current needs, the HP+ is perfect. On my final day of track they didn't go away, stopping lap after lap with confidence. Take it for granted that I'm in HPDE 1, I wasn't driving that fast. However, the HPS I used last year started to fade after only three laps at the…
