The Hawk brake pads are made in a number of varieties, and one of these is the HPS variety or the High Performance Street variety. The HPS is a Ferro-Carbon compound which is an engineering combination of the aerospace technology that is applied to motor sports. The HPS line or the High Performance Street disc brake pads are known worldwide for improving the stopping power of street-legal vehicles. If you think of enhancing the performance of your vehicle’s stopping power and braking system, then the brand’s high performance brake pads are the right products for you.

The unique Ferro-Carbon compound used in the HPS brake pads is specifically developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace’s and Motorsports’ severe-duty friction technology. The high performance street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can also provide you with 20-40 percent more stopping power, as well as a higher resistance to brake fade as compared to most standard replacement pads available in the market. Less fade on the brake pads means you will have highly durable pads with less dust brake. The high performance street Ferro-Carbon compound features a brake pad that has an increased stopping power above other stock pads.

The performance part also produces high friction/torque hot or cold, and the part is gentle on your rotors. It also boasts of an extended pad life, low dust, and is virtually noise-free. All brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors to which they will be paired. Properly bedding-in of the new pads will result to a transfer film being generated at the pad and the rotor interface to maximize braking performance.
