Replacing the stock AE86’s braking system is a must. However, big brake kits are expensive, require custom work, special wheel fitments, and more. 86 Legends recommends replacing the stock braking system on street and spirited driving cars with Hawk, Stoptech, and Goodrich products before splurging on big brake systems. HP+ pads offer a more aggressive bite and reduces fade for track purposes. HPS are more for street and spirited driving that have great initial bite (without warming up) and low noise.
HP+
Hawk Performance’s HP Plus brake pad compound is ideal for Autocross and Track Day drivers looking for a high performance race compound that can take the heat of the track and get you home safely without having to change the pads.
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.
Key Features:
– Extremely High Friction Output
– Fade Resistant
– Worthy for Autocross & Club Racing Events
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.
HPS
High Performance Street disc brake pads are legendary for increasing stopping power on street-legal vehicles. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performances HPS braking compound. The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20 to 40 percent more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you will have better pedal feel and more consistent performance in a durable brake pad that generates less brake dust.
