Hawk Performance HPS

HPS - High Performance Street

Superior Stopping Power

HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street legal vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performances 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 will have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust..

HPS Ferro-Compound Features:

Increased stopping power
High friction/torque hot or cold
Gentle on rotors
Extended pad life
Low dust
Virtually noise-free

Hawk Performance Ceramic

Performance Ceramic

HPC - High Performance Ceramic

Ultimate stopping power in an ultra-low dust, low noise ceramic compound!

Hawk Performance has introduced a premium, high performance, ultra-low dust, low noise compound called Performance Ceramic.

Performance Ceramic is engineered to reduce brake NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness), creating a quieter performing brake pad. Furthermore, the ceramic brake pad formula has a linear friction profile that allows your ABS brake system to work more effectively. With Performance Ceramic you can expect reduced brake pad wear, lower dust output levels and a rotor-friendly brake pad.

Hawk Performance HP Plus

Hawk Performance HP Plus / Autocross Compound

HP Plus / Autocross

Hawk Performances HP Plus brake pad compound is ideal for Autocross and Track Day drivers looking for a high performance race compound that can take the heat of the track and get you home safely without having to change the pads.

HP Plus utilizes a unique Ferro-Carbon, high-tech friction material that was developed and manufactured for sport driving in autocross, Solo II and track day applications. The Ferro-Carbon formulation offers lower wear rates and higher torque values than other competitive materials.

Extremely high coefficient of friction makes HP Plus the perfect upgrade over stock for high performance streetcars used in autocross competition or that experience repetitive, heavy braking.

Key Features:

Extremely High Friction Output
Fade Resistant
Worthy for Autocross & Club Racing Events

Warning! Due to the dramatic friction levels produced by this product to achieve "race-level" braking, rotor wear, noise, dust, and pad life may be affected.

Hawk Performance LTS - Light Truck & SUV

LTS - Light Truck and SUV

Light Truck/SUV A Better Way to Stop Your Truck and SUV!

Hawk Performance has applied their severe-duty brake pad friction technology to the braking demands of trucks and SUVs. Heavier vehicles with larger brake systems are more likely to experience higher temperatures, requiring a brake pad that has excellent heat dissipation characteristics.

Cadillac Escalade

The new LTS (Light Truck & SUV) Brake Pad Compound utilizes Hawk Performance established and proven Ferro-Carbon formulation to provide superior stopping power for full-sized light trucks, SUVs and vans without noise and dust.

Key Features:

Improved braking over OE
Superior fade resistance
Low Dust
Excellent pad and rotor life
Virtually noise-free

Hawk Performance SuperDuty

SuperDuty - Severe-Duty Truck Brake Pad Compound

SuperDuty - Severe-Duty Truck Compound Extreme Braking for Extreme Payloads

Hawks SuperDuty Ferro-Carbon material is engineered for severe-duty professional truck fleets and trucks and SUVs towing heavy loads. This material offers unmatched braking performance under high inertia and/or repetitive braking applications.

GMC Yukon To drive safely with heavy payloads it is critical to have brakes that operate properly. Heavy fleet trucks and light trucks and SUVs carrying heavy tow loads experience high braking temperatures. Higher temperatures contribute to premature brake pad and rotor wear. Hawk Performances SuperDuty product is a sophisticated material that has an extremely high coefficient of friction designed to provide maximum truck and SUV stopping power with excellent high temperature heat dissipation.

Van Upgrade your fleet or tow vehicles braking performance with Hawk Performances SuperDuty, Sever-Duty compound!

Key Features:

Extremely high coefficient of friction
Extremely high fade resistance

Recommended for professional fleets (greater than 1 ton)
and light trucks towing excessive payloads.

Superior high temperature rotor and pad wear performance.

Hawk Performance High Performance Racing

Hawk Performance Brake Pads

Hawk Performance (formerly known as Hawk Brake) is the performance division of Wellman Friction Products and is an acknowledged leader in advanced friction technology. Hawk Brake initially developed a strong following among weekend racing enthusiasts by focusing on manufacturing brake materials for high performance automobiles. Since then Hawk Performance has evolved by servicing a wide array of industries with friction materials for brakes and clutches including:

Motorsports (NASCAR, CART, SCCA, NHRA, etc.)
High Performance Automotive, Light Truck & SUV
Severe Duty Fleet (Class 1 through 6)
Emergency Vehicle
General Aviation
Snowmobile
Motorcycle
Military

Hawk Performance's revolutionary friction materials can operate from temperatures of -30 degree Fahrenheit below zero to 1400 degree Fahrenheit above zero and offer a coefficient of friction ranging from 0.20 to 0.68 depending on the material selected and the application it is required to work in.
