Product Overview
Hawk HP Plus Rear Brake Pads HB350N.496 – Honda Civic, Integra and CRX
Hawk’s HP Plus compound is a crossover street and race pad for drivers who take their cars on track days, sprints and autocross events and still need to drive home on the same pads. HB350N.496 is the rear pad shape for a long list of 1990s Honda and Acura models with rear disc brakes, including the Civic (1992–2000), Integra (1990–2001, including the Type R), CRX (1990–1991), Civic del Sol (1993–1997) and Prelude (1988–1991).
What HP Plus offers
HP Plus uses Hawk’s Ferro-Carbon friction material, developed for high-heat sport driving. Compared with a standard road pad it gives a higher, more consistent friction level as temperatures rise, helping the rear axle do its share of the work under hard braking. As a performance compound it produces more dust and noise than an OE pad and works best with some heat in it, so it suits keen drivers rather than quiet commuting. The pad is 0.496 in (12.6 mm) thick.

Fitment and pairing
The full vehicle list is on Hawk’s HB350N.496 product page. Only versions fitted with rear discs take this pad, so check your car before ordering. To keep brake balance sensible, pair them with a suitable front set from our brake pads range, and check rear disc thickness – new brake discs give the best bed-in.
Fitting advice
Clean the calliper slides and pad abutments, wind the piston back with the correct rear calliper tool, and check the handbrake adjustment afterwards. Bed the pads in with a series of firm stops from moderate speed, avoiding coming to a complete stop with hot brakes.
