Product Details

If you're looking to get more stopping power out of your daily driver, especially when you push it a bit harder, these Hawk Performance HP+ Street brake pads are a solid option. They're designed to give you a noticeable boost in braking performance over stock pads, making them a popular choice for vehicles like the Honda Pilot, Honda Element, and Acura ILX. You'll find they offer a more confident pedal feel, particularly when you need to brake hard.

The HP Plus compound Hawk uses here is known for its higher friction output compared to standard pads. This means you can expect a significant increase in stopping power, often 20 to 40 percent more, and importantly, better resistance to brake fade. Fade happens when your brakes get too hot and lose effectiveness, and these pads are built to handle higher temperatures, keeping your braking consistent. Plus, they tend to generate less brake dust than many performance pads, which helps keep your wheels looking cleaner.

These pads are designed to be a direct replacement for your factory pads, meaning they fit right into your existing caliper setup without needing any modifications. Just be sure to check the fitment guide to confirm they're the right match for your specific year and model.
