I sent a query to them a few weeks back via their website. The thread is below:

Query:

"Theres a whole community of owners waiting for pads to match our application. Can you tell me if we're even on the radar yet? We would all like a better product than OEM and nothing is on the market yet. Please tell me it won't be long now....please? Regards, Chris"

Response:

Christopher, The good news is we are 12-14 weeks away from having your pads. The bad news is we are 12-14 weeks away from having your pads. Please be an optimist as we are trying our best to keep up with all of the new applications that are arriving each week/month/year.

Thank you for your patience.

Seems reasonable and at least we're on the radar. For me it's a year longer than I would have liked but as he says, there's a lot of new models to build for; I'm sure R56 is a small percentage of that.

 

Last time I saw Jerry he wasn't working for Hawk anymore.. interesting

Hi Alex. This is fresh from today. Maybe the grass wasn't as green???

 

is it ever?

I'm happy to see this...I'd like to upgrade the pads on my JCW kit to HP+

 

I guess I will use the stock pads on my r56 brakes but sure does suck to have to wait 12-14 more weeks.

 

4 month, just in time for 08 spring :P Perfect for the R comps tires and the track days
