Product Details

If you're looking to get more stopping power out of your Alfa Romeo Sprint, or any of the many other vehicles this pad fits, Hawk Performance's HPS 5.0 compound is a solid option. These aren't your average daily driver pads; they're built to give you a noticeable improvement over stock, especially when you start pushing your car a bit harder. You'll feel a difference in how the brakes respond, with a firmer pedal and more consistent performance, even when things get warm.

What makes these pads work so well is their high-friction compound. It's designed to provide a higher coefficient of friction than standard pads, which translates to 20 to 40 percent more stopping power. This means shorter stopping distances and less fade, so you can brake later and harder with confidence. Plus, they're made to be gentle on your rotors and generate less dust, keeping your wheels cleaner and your braking system working smoothly for longer.

This particular set, part number HB172B.595, is designed for the front of specific Alfa Romeo models like the Sprint and Alfetta, but Hawk offers this HPS 5.0 compound for a wide variety of European and domestic vehicles. They offer a great balance of performance for street use without the noise or dust issues you might expect from a more aggressive pad.
