I'm hoping to start campaigning the car in autocross again soon, but need to pick a new pad. The Porterfiled ST-43 felt great, but absolutely ate my rotors. I'm considering the Hawk HP Plus. Has anyone had any time with this pad?

KFP Chris, I know nothing of that brand and the website is beyond terrible. Any recommendations on compound? For autocross only, I would go with the Blue (P4211) compound. They do require a little pre-heat to work best but have the highest coef. of friction of the pads I sell. For hard track use I've always used the Golds, and I have dual use pads (Silver) in my street car. The Silvers bite well on the second pedal press, but not necessarily on the first. The rotors should be replaced or cleaned really well before switching brake pad compound. A little remaining friction material on the rotors can negatively affect braking performance with the new pads. I've been using KFP exclusively since the early '90s with positive results. That's why I selected that brand to keep in stock. |
