Product Description

Hawk HP Plus (HB533N.668) front brake pads deliver a significant performance boost for Subaru AWD owners seeking high-performance street and autocross capability. The Ferro-Carbon compound provides strong cold-bite and consistent braking through repeat hot stops - perfect for spirited driving and occasional track days. These pads are designed to resist fade up to 800 °F while minimizing rotor wear relative to track-only compounds.

Direct OEM drop-in installation ensures compatibility with front calipers across a wide range of AWD Subaru models from 2005 to 2018. Owners will benefit from improved brake confidence, though increased dust and noise are expected from high-performance compounds. Bedding is required to achieve optimal friction. Fitment confirmed through 2018; coverage for 2025 is unconfirmed at this time.
