Hawk HP+ pads are made for the Gen 2 R55/R56/R57 Cooper that gets driven to
autocross events. Hawk's HP+ offers increased friction over the HPS, at
the price of a little more noise (squealing) and more dust. Brake squeal
is not uncommon in the HP+ due to the higher temperatures required for
their peak friction, but once warmed up, this higher operating
temperature will consistently allow your R56 Mini Cooper S to brake more
quickly, with minimal fade.
Hawk HP+ pads are excellent for the occasional HPDE/track day or for the
very competitive autocross Cooper S. If your Mini will see more
frequent track use, or competition-only applications, consider race
compound pads.
Fits the following Gen 2 MINI models:
R55 2008-up Clubman and Clubman S
R56 2007-up Hatchback Cooper and Cooper S
R57 2009-up Convertible Cooper and Cooper S
