Hawk HP+ Brake Pads for Wilwood 7816 Calipers
The Hawk HP+ Brake Pads are specifically engineered for Wilwood 7816 caliper backing plates. These pads deliver a higher coefficient of friction compared to stock options, providing 20-40% more stopping power for confident control during autocross events, track days, and spirited street driving.
With a focus on fade resistance and smooth, predictable torque, they maintain consistent braking even under repeated hard stops, making them a reliable pick for performance enthusiasts who demand dependable response without frequent changes.
The HP+ compound generates low dust levels while offering wide temperature tolerance from 100°F to 800°F, with peak efficiency between 300°F and 600°F, ensuring effective performance across varied conditions.
For drivers upgrading with Wilwood DynaPro radial mount or Narrow Dynalite calipers, these pads stand out by pairing directly with iron/metal rotors for extended durability and reduced wear.
They fit seamlessly into big brake kits on a broad array of vehicles, including performance automobiles, Chevy trucks, Ford trucks, GMC trucks, Jeeps, and open-wheel sprint/midget racing setups.
This versatility positions the HB542N.600 as the go-to solution for maintaining grip and stability where standard pads fall short.
