Hawk HP+ Front Brake Pads Subaru STI 2004-2017 | HB453N.585

These Hawk HP+ front brake pads are specially designed for 2004 - 2017 Subaru STI models. They offer extremely high friction output, making your car brake quickly and effectively. They are fade - resistant, ensuring consistent performance even under high - stress situations. These pads are a great choice for autocross and club racing events. The HP+ pads are made for Subarus that are driven both on the road and on the track. Compared to the HPS, they provide increased friction, though they may produce a bit more noise (squealing) and dust. Brake squeal is normal in the HP+ due to the high temperatures needed for peak friction. Once warmed up, the higher operating temperature allows your Subaru to brake faster with minimal fade. They're perfect for occasional HPDE/track days or competitive autocross drivers. Part Number: HB453N.585.

Using these Hawk HP+ front brake pads is straightforward. Just have them installed by a professional mechanic. When you first start using them, give them some time to warm up. During this warm - up period, you might hear some squealing, but that's normal. When driving, especially in high - stress situations like autocross or on the track, you'll notice the excellent braking performance. As for maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If you see they're getting thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the brake dust. While the HP+ pads produce a bit more dust, you can clean it off your wheels regularly to keep them looking good. And remember, these pads are designed for high - performance use, so if you're using your Subaru mainly for daily commuting, you might want to consider other options.
