What is the main benefit of Hawk HPS brake pads over stock pads?

The Hawk HPS brake pads offer a higher coefficient of friction, which translates to increased stopping power, typically 20-40% more than stock. They also provide better resistance to brake fade, meaning more consistent performance when the brakes get hot.

Are these brake pads noisy?

Hawk designs the HPS compound to be virtually noise-free. While some brake noise can depend on installation and rotor condition, these pads are intended for quiet operation.

Do these pads come with hardware?

This specific part number, HB171F.590, includes the brake pads themselves. It's recommended to check the manufacturer's installation instructions or consult with a technician to see if any additional hardware is needed for your specific vehicle application.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your classic car's braking system, the Hawk HPS Street Brake Pads are a solid option. These pads are built to give you a noticeable bump in stopping power compared to stock, making them a popular choice for vehicles like the Porsche 911, Alfa Romeo Spider, and Mercedes-Benz 300SE. They're designed to work well whether your brakes are cold or have been working hard, which means you get more consistent performance and a better feel at the pedal.

The HPS compound Hawk uses here is known for its higher coefficient of friction, which translates to that improved stopping power. You can expect about 20 to 40 percent more stopping force than standard pads, and importantly, they resist fade better. This means your brakes won't feel mushy or lose effectiveness when they get hot, which is crucial for spirited driving or just everyday confidence. Plus, they generate less dust than many performance pads, keeping your wheels cleaner, and they're designed for a quiet operation.
