How much more stopping power do these pads offer compared to stock?

Hawk Performance states that their HPS compound can provide 20 to 40 percent more stopping power than most standard replacement pads. This is due to a higher coefficient of friction.

Will these pads make a lot of noise?

No, these Hawk Performance HPS pads are designed to be extremely quiet. They are also engineered to generate ultra-low brake dust, which helps keep your wheels cleaner.

Do these pads come with everything needed for installation?

Product Details

Hawk Performance is well-known for making parts that help your car stop better, and these HPS High Performance Street brake pads are a prime example. They're designed to give your Audi or Volkswagen a noticeable boost in stopping power, which is always a good thing to have, especially when you're pushing your car a bit. These pads are a solid option for a wide range of Audi and VW vehicles, including models like the Audi A3, VW Jetta, and VW Passat.

The HPS compound Hawk uses here offers a higher friction level than stock pads, meaning you can expect about 20 to 40 percent more stopping power and better resistance to brake fade. That fade resistance is key because it translates to a more consistent pedal feel and reliable performance, even during harder braking. Plus, they're engineered to be extremely quiet and generate significantly less brake dust than many other performance pads, keeping your wheels cleaner.

These pads are a direct replacement for your factory front pads and are designed to work well with your existing rotors, potentially even extending their life. If you're looking to improve your car's braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability, these Hawk pads are a popular choice.
