Hawk Performance HPS
Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street driven vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance's HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology. The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you'll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
Expert Opinion
The Hawk HPS compound, in most cases, will provide increased brake torque and operating temperature when compared to OEM pads. There will also be a decrease in brake dust. With an upper end operating temperature of 800-900 Deg F, the HPS compound can withstand light track use as long as you are aware of the signs of over-heating and allow proper cool off time when the pads approach their upper temperature. The Hawk HPS compound is not a race compound and it can not withstand prolonged race sessions at high temperatures. Concerning brake dust, the HPS will be cleaner than your OEM Pads, but create more dust than the Hawk Ceramic compound. The performance improvement over Hawk Ceramic comes at the cost of increased dust production.

Hawk Brake Pad Installation Procedure
- Install Brake pads properly. Be sure pads are securely positioned in the caliper.
- Flush system with fresh brake fluid.
- Check all hydraulic parts for excess wear and tear.
- Check disc for proper thickness, parallelism, and lateral run-out.
- Check disc for scoring or grooves over .012"" depth. If either applies, resurfacing or replacement is required.
- If disc does not need resurfacing then contamination from the previous brake pads must be removed. Sand discs with Garnet sandpaper using moderate pressure. Use soap and water to clean off disc surface after sanding and machining. Discs should be free and clear of oil, grease, and brake fluid
- Inspect calipers for freedom of movement. Lubricate where necessary
