i had the hp+ pads on they gti last season and they worked pretty well...they don't like the cold temps too much, but as soon as you get a little heat under them, they seem to grip pretty well...can't really speak for "fee" or "modulation" as the gti had abs and i just used my no-talent right foot to stomp on the pedal every time and let the computer do the work :wink:

oh, one more thing, they also squealed like mad...when i came to a halt at stop lights, small children cried and the elderly dove into bushes.


I'll second Chris' account of the HP+ pads. I have them on the Mustang. They do feel "better" than the HPS that I had on in 2003 but what is that really worth. Like Chris, I would just stomp on the whoa pedal and let the computer figure things out.

Both Hawk pads create more dust than a wind storm in the desert, but the HP+ pads are obscene. My anthricite wheels are black by the end of the week.

And the HP+ pads squeel much more than the HPS pads. I've heard dogs barking in response.

Mike....

Did you buy the Hawk HPS pads? If so, where did you buy them from? I've looked and I'm finding prices of about 60 for the front and 50 for the rear. Let me know please...
