Product Description

Hawk HB290N.583 HP Plus rear brake pads are engineered to deliver strong, consistent braking performance for a range of Porsche sports cars spanning 1999 through 2012 model years. Built with Hawk's HP Plus ferro-carbon compound, these pads offer elevated torque and fade resistance compared with many stock replacements, making them a great choice for spirited street driving and autocross events. They are designed as direct rear brake pad replacements for various Porsche 911 (996/997), Boxster (986/987), and Cayman S (987/987.2) models.

The HP Plus compound provides smooth and predictable torque delivery across a versatile temperature range, helping maintain effective braking under repeated heavy use. These pads are optimized for use with iron/metal rotors and work effectively with ABS systems, giving confident stopping control in both everyday and performance scenarios. Installation is straightforward with OEM-style fitment; however, these pads should not be used on vehicles equipped with carbon ceramic brake systems. HB290N.583 pads offer a balance of performance and durability ideal for drivers who want an upgraded braking experience without going to full race compounds.
