Hawk Performance HPS High Performance Street Brake Pads

Hawk Performance HPS (High Performance Street) brake pads are the definitive street performance upgrade for driving enthusiasts who demand stronger, more confident braking without compromising daily drivability. Built on Hawk's proprietary Ferro-Carbon friction compound — developed using aerospace safety standards and refined through decades of motorsports braking technology — the HPS line delivers a measurably higher coefficient of friction than standard OEM brake pads, translating to real-world stopping confidence on every drive.

Key Features:

• Proprietary Ferro-Carbon HPS Compound: Hawk's advanced friction formulation draws from aerospace and motorsports engineering to deliver superior bite and consistent braking performance compared to standard OEM or economy replacement pads
• 20–40% More Stopping Power: The HPS compound provides significantly higher friction levels than most factory or standard replacement pads, giving drivers a noticeable, measurable improvement in braking performance
• Superior Fade Resistance: Engineered to maintain consistent pedal feel and braking force under repeated and aggressive street use, resisting heat-induced brake fade in conditions where OEM pads fall short
• Enhanced Pedal Feel & Modulation: Progressive, predictable braking response provides precise control for confident stops across both everyday commuting and spirited driving conditions
• Low Dust Formula: Formulated to run cleaner than conventional brake pads, generating significantly less brake dust during normal street driving to help keep wheels looking their best
• Quiet, NVH-Optimized Operation: Engineered to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness for a refined, comfortable driving experience in daily use
• Extended Service Life: Durable friction material construction is built to deliver long-lasting performance under both routine commuting and spirited street driving
• Direct Bolt-On Replacement: Designed as a straightforward OEM-style replacement requiring no vehicle modifications; compatible with standard iron and metal brake rotors
• Factory Pre-Burnished: HPS pads are pre-burnished as a final manufacturing step for immediate performance; a proper bed-in procedure with the rotors is still recommended to maximize braking effectiveness
• Limited Lifetime Warranty: Backed by Hawk Performance's limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Important Note: Hawk HPS brake pads are designed for use with standard iron and metal rotors only and are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors.

The Hawk HPS line is one of the most proven and widely trusted street performance brake pad compounds available today — a genuine, measurable upgrade over stock braking hardware for sports cars, coupes, sedans, pickup trucks, and SUVs alike. Whether you're commuting daily, carving canyon roads, or pushing your vehicle hard on spirited weekend drives, HPS pads deliver the ideal balance of aggressive stopping power and low-maintenance street friendliness. Available across an extensive range of fitments to suit a broad variety of makes and models.
