BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
Hawk Performance HPS-High Performance Street disc brake pads are designed for sports cars, coupes, sedans and pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles used for high speed driving or that may encounter repetitive heavy braking. Hawk Performance HPS Ferro-Carbon compound brake pads provide advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience. This unique compound combines the safety and quality of aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motorsports.
Hawk Performance HPS pads offer 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most Original Equipment or standard replacement pads. This makes them more responsive and durable than most standard original brakes and makes Hawk Performance HPS pads the first...and least expensive...way to increase the stopping power of cars and light trucks.
As standard brake pads wear, brake dust is released as the friction material wears in everyday braking. Hawk Performance HPS brake pads are formulated to run cleaner and release extremely low levels of dust in normal street driving.
Key Features and Benefits of Hawk Performance HPS Brake Pads:
- High friction/torque hot or cold
- Gentle on rotors
- Very quiet, low noise
- Improved braking over OE pads
- Extended pad life
Brake pads are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Pads should be replaced when approximately 1/8th inch of friction material remains on the steel backing plate.
NOTE:
Even though Hawk Performance burnishes its brake pads as a final step in the factory, all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
Hawk HP Plus - High Performance Street PLUS Brake Pads
Las pastillas de freno de discos Hawk Performance de Alto Rendimiento para Carretera (High Performance Street HPS, por sus siglas en inglés) han sido diseñadas para autos deportivos, cupé, sedán, picops y utilitarios deportivos que viajan a velocidades elevadas o que deben frenar continua y severamente. El compuesto Ferro-Carbón del Hawk Performance HPS, provee características avanzadas de frenado que mejoran la experiencia de conducir. Este compuesto combina la seguridad y calidad del diseño aeroespacial con la tecnología utilizada en deportes de automotores.
Las pastillas Hawk Performance HPS ofrecen entre 20 y 40% más poder de frenado. Además, ofrecen mayor resistencia a debilitarse, debido al calor soportado por la fricción al frenar, que las pastillas de Equipo Original (OE, por sus siglas en inglés) o estándares. Las Hawk Performance HPS, son más durables y responsivas que la mayoría de las pastillas originales y se convierten en la mejor opción para aumentar el poder de frenado de autos y camiones ligeros, a un costo razonable.
A medida que se desgasta el freno, el material de fricción se convierte en polvo. Las pastillas Hawk Performance HPS son diseñadas para ser más limpias y soltar poco residuo de polvo, durante el frenado diario en las carreteras.
Características claves y beneficios de las pastillas Hawk Performance HPS:
- Alta fricción/torsión en caliente o frío.
- No maltrata los discos.
- Silenciosas.
- Mejor frenado que las pastillas de Equipo Original (OE, por sus siglas en inglés).
- Alargado ciclo de vida.
El uso continuo de las pastillas de frenos hace que se desgaten, por lo tanto deben ser inspeccionadas y reemplazadas cuando sea necesario. Las pastillas deben ser reemplazada cuando solo queda 1/8 de pulgada del material de fricción sobre el plato de soporte.
NOTA:Las pastillas Hawk Performance son pulidas en la última fase de fabricación, sin embargo deben tener un período de adaptación a los discos nuevos o usados, esto optimizara su desempeño.

I bought these Centric Plain 120 rotors to replace Brembo blanks that had about 148,000 miles on them and started a little steering wheel shake. So far I am very happy with them. They ve worked great right our of the box with Hawk HPS pads. No smells or burning off corrosion coatings and no squealing or squeaking. The cross hashing does make a slight low grown, but to me it is a more confidence building sound that the brakes are really biting in than an annoyance. This rotor and pad set-up brakes smooth, strong and quiet. With so many miles on this car, I didn t want to spend too much, so I didn t go with the cryo treated, but since I drive about 42,000 miles a year, I wanted rotors that were good and well-made enough that I don t have to replace them soon. I will probably try the cryo-treated on my Odyssey minivan when I replace them in the next year or so.

I use the Miata for both street and autocross. The upgrade was very effective, especially for the cost. The brakes not only stop faster and are more fade resistant than stock, but are much easier to modulate also. No more lock-ups and flat spotted tires.

Great products so far and my expectations have been exceeded. Poor reviews on the Tire rack web site but other web sites provide many positive reviews of this brake combo. That led to my decision to buy.
