Choosing the right performance brake pad is just as important as choosing the right rotor. Pads and rotors work together to convert the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle into heat. Hawk Performance brake pads are an excellent choice when replaceing pads, even for OEM applications. They are a direct replacement for OEM brake pads, but provide far superior performance and reliability. All Hawk Performance High Performance Street brake pads provide a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products to be free of defects from manufacturers workmanship and materials.

HPS Performance Street compound.
Hawk Performance HPS material provides advanced braking characteristics to enchance your driving experience. This unique Ferro-Carbon compound combines the safety and quality of Aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motorsports. HPS is one of the first material to pass the new FMVSS 135 government safety test. The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20 to 40 percent more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you will have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.Performance, safety, and quality are the trademarks of this material. HPS for high performance street use. The best choice for most passenger cars, sports cars, light trucks and SUVs. Extremely low dust, Gentle on rotors, Virtually noise free, Much improved braking over OEM pads.

Performance Ceramic Pads
Hawk Performance has introduced a premium, high performance, ultra-low dust, low noise compound called Performance Ceramic. Ultimate stopping power in an ultra-low dust, low noise ceramic compound! Performance Ceramic is engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), creating a quieter performing brake pad. Furthermore, the ceramic brake pad formula has a linear friction profile that allows your ABS brake system to work more effectively. With Performance Ceramic you can expect reduced brake pad wear, lower dust output levels and a rotor-friendly brake pad. Increased stopping power, Increased rotor life, Extended pad life, Ultra-low dust, Extremely quiet, Stable friction output. Recommended for import, domestic automobiles, luxury SUVs, sports trucks & vans.

HP Plus Pads
Hawk Performance HP Plus brake pad compound is ideal for Autocross and Track Day drivers looking for a high performance race compound that can take the heat of the track and get you home safely without having to change the pads. HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and track day applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials. Extremely high coefficient of friction makes HP Plus the perfect upgrade over stock for high performance streetcars used in autocross competition or that experience repetitive, heavy braking.

LTS Pads for Light Trucks
Maximum Strength Braking for your Truck or SUV, Hawk Performance has applied their severe duty friction technology to the braking demands of trucks and SUVs. LTS Ferro-Carbon material is specifically designed for the larger brake systems used in full-sized light trucks and SUVs. LTS offers improved braking over OE, and superior fade resistance with excellent pad and rotor life. This brake pad compound is recommended for import and domestic full-sized SUVs, vans and light trucks up to 1 Ton.

SuperDuty Pads for Trucks
Hawks SuperDuty Ferro-Carbon material is engineered for severe-duty professional truck fleets and trucks and SUVs towing heavy loads. This material offers unmatched braking performance under high inertia, repetitive braking applications. Extremely high fade resistance combined with superior high temperature rotor and brake pad wear performance. This brake pad compound is recommended for professional fleets (greater than 1 ton) and light trucks towing excessive payloads.
