Hawk HPS Pads - High Performance Street Compound HPS - High Performance Street brake pads for improved stopping power on performance street vehicles. The unique Ferro-Carbon compound was created for street vehicles requiring more performance and uses the quality standards of the Aerospace severe-duty friction technology requirements.  The high performaning street compound has a higher coefficient of friction than stock brake pad compounds and provides 20-40% improvement in stopping power.  The HPS Compound has a higher resistance to brake fade and produces less brake dust. Hawk HPS Ferro-Compound Features: Improved stopping power High friction in hot or cold conditions  Easy on rotors Increased brake pad life Low dust production Virtual noise free operation Hawk Performance Ceramic Pad Compound The Hawk performance Ceramic Compound is a performance, low dust and noise premium compound.   Hawk Performance Ceramic Compound reduces brake noise and vibration thereby creating a quieter higher performing brake pad compound.  The Hawk ceramic pad compound features a more linear friction-profile that ensures that ABS brake systems work more effectively.  Performance Ceramic Compound  reduces pad wear and lowers the braking component dust output yet is  rotor-friendly.   Hawk Performance Ceramic Features: Improved stopping performance Increased rotor life Extended brake-pad life Ultra-low brake dust output Quiet operation Consistent friction output Hawk HP Plus Pad Compound The Hawk HP Plus compound is an excellent choice for track-day goers needing a higher performaning race style compound that can deal with the increased temperatures around the track, yet functional well enough at low temperature to get you home without changing the pads first.  HP Plus is made up of a unique Ferro-Carbon material developed and manufactured for sporty driving in track day applications. The Ferro-Carbon material combines lower wear rates with higher torque values when compared to competitive materials. The HP Plus high friction coefficient represents an excellent choice of pad compound for those of us who experience repetitive heavier braking on high performance street vehicles. Hawk HP Plus Features: Extremely high output friction Used for autocross events Works at the track with street tires  Higher temperature resistance Hawk Performance Brake Pads The Hawk Performance brand of brake pads are manufactured by the Wellman Products Group.  Wellman is one of the world’s leading developers of severe-duty friction products. Wellman has manufactured severe-duty friction products for brakes, clutches, transmissions, etc for close to a century and  their research and development programs are unsurpassed. Wellman launched Hawk Performance brake pad products into the Motorsports arena more than 15 years ago.
