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 originally used the Cool Carbon name. After Ferodo semi-metallics, they were the next race pads I used, and I've never used anything else since.
I've discussed the history with a family member of the company ownership. I don't recall the reason but they dropped that name and someone else chose to pick it up, I suppose to leverage off the good reputation. I like the fact that the pads are manufactured in the USA too. The silver pads are the best for dual use. They bite pretty well on the first press and really well after that. Blue and Gold pads require temperature before they do much work. However, since the C/F is so high, even when cold they may feel as good as some of the cheapo pads out there. |
