Hawk HP+ Front Brake Pads - NA8/NB Miata (94-05 w. Non-Sport Brakes)

The Hawk HB149N.505 is a front brake pad set in Hawk's HP+ compound for the 1994-1997 Mazda Miata (NA, 1.8L) and 1999-2005 Mazda Miata (NB) with the standard front brakes. HP+ is a higher-friction pad than OE for spirited street driving, autocross and track days. It fits the factory front calipers without modification.

• Hawk HP+ compound (code N in the part number): a ferro-carbon friction material from Hawk's Motorsports line, developed for sport driving; Hawk rates it ideal for autocross
• Hawk temperature ratings: 300-600°F optimal range, 100-800°F operating range (low to mid temperature range, fade resistant)
• Hawk describes smooth, predictable torque with higher torque values and lower wear rates than competing materials; HP+ made after July 16, 2018 uses Hawk's enhanced compound (less pad wear, better rotor wear, less temperature sensitivity)
• Road-legal and suited to autocross and track days; Hawk notes more noise and dust than its street compounds. For iron rotors only; not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors
• Pad thickness 0.505 in (12.8 mm): the number after the dot in Hawk part numbers is the pad thickness in inches (HB149N.505)
• Hawk street bed-in: 6-10 moderate stops from 30-35 mph, then 2-3 harder stops from 40-45 mph without dragging the brakes, then let the brakes cool for 15 minutes

Fitment: Front axle. 1994-1997 Mazda Miata (NA, 1.8L), 1999-2000 Mazda Miata (NB) and 2001-2005 Mazda Miata (NB) without the Sport Suspension package. Not for 1990-1993 (1.6L) cars, 2001-2005 cars with the Sport Suspension package and its larger front brakes, or the 2004-2005 Mazdaspeed; Hawk lists the HP+ pad HB431N.606 for 2001-2005 Sport Suspension cars.
