Hawk Hp+ up front and Hawk HPS back good combo?

Germanguy

Hi,

will I be fine with Hawk HP+ up front and Hawk HPS at the back for 3-4 hard track laps (after that 1 cooling lap) and daily driving?

I know HP+ will eat my rotors .

Thanks!

I have HP+ all around with stock rotors, the rear is squealing like crazy! But the pads work really well at the track. I do about 8-10 laps non stop no cooling lap in between!!

You will be fine with + up front and regular in the rear, if you didn't upgrade your brake fluid, I suggest u do, ss lines as well.

prepare to buy rotors, waste of money

Yup, the hp plus will tear up/warp the rotors pretty fast!
I am looking for rotor and pad replacement next, probably do dba 5000 up front, and maybe try the endless pads....never ran them before.

My rotors where getting tore up after 1000 miles with these pads.

The HP+ pads are a good pad for track duty, but they are noisy, and produce tons of dust. I would not use them on the street because you will not like the squealing that will be produced.

I just put these pads through their paces with stoptech slotted rotors @ autobahn's 3.5 mi country club for 6 20 min sessions. Never had any issues, but I need to switch them back out because the brakes sounds horrible under normal braking condition. I haven't seen any damage to the rotors or feel any warping.

How many hot laps can you get from stock pad/brake set up? If you only want 3-4 laps it seems you can get away with less preparation. I may misunderstand the question.

If your doing the Nurburgring then one lap with 140 odd turns would certainly cook your brakes.

After 4 laps on a 2-3 mile road course you are going to cook your stock brakes relatively quick.

Less preparation is not something that should even be a consideration when taking your car to a road course.

Your brake pads should be upgraded, your brake fluid should be changed out and I would also recommend stainless steel lines. If you have the sport brakes, the oem rotors will work because they are big enough to dissipate heat, but a slotted option would obviously work better.

Nordschleife doesnt Cook the brakes because u have Long cooling straights. Hockenheim GP kills your brakes. From 260 to 50 km/h on the Spitzkehre.
