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
Hawk Brake Pad Bedding Procedure - Street Compounds
- Make 6-10 slow-downs from approximately 30-35 mph to 5 mph. applying moderate pressure. Do not come to a complete stop.
- Make an additional 2 to 3 harder stops from approximately 40-45 mph. to zero.
- DO NOT DRAG THE BRAKES! (after stopping - do not leave your foot on the brake pedal)
- Allow 15 minutes or more for the brake system to cool down.
- Your new Hawk pads are ready for use.

Testimonials
James LoweLooks like I get to be the first review for these guys. Let me start out by saying that I have had 3 other cars of a similar caliber to my GTR serviced/worked on and upgrades installed at other shops and none took the pride and level of detail that these guys did. I wish I could see all the welds on the downpipes and exhaust because it looked like artwork. Their fabricator made sure to send me daily updates and pictures which was also a big deal to me. For being an out of state experience it made it seem more like they were local to me and that I had known them for longer.
Luca HarrisTook the leap of faith on buying a set of their R35 intakes and downpipes because the price was half of anyone elses plus their car hauls a** at the track. Install went smooth and the power seems to be even better than advertised. Cant wait to get tuned in a few weeks. Their shelf tune honestly has to be 600+ hp as I pulled on a Hellcat last night. I see these guys and gals going a long ways if they can get out there and advertise. Customer service is on point paired with BIGGG savings for the winning combo.
Richard WestbrookBought a Motec and had these guys build the harness and set it up fully. Track car that received the level of attention and detail of a show car while here. Made me feel at home every time I popped in for a visit and always offered to buy me lunch/dinner. I don’t see me shopping anywhere else as they make you feel like your family.
