Hawk Performance has just introduced a new premium replacement pad brake pad product line – the High Performance Street 5.0 Compound. The new High Performance Street 5.0 compound fits between the HPS and the HPS+ compounds.

High Performance Street 5.0 is one step closer to giving you the greatest stopping power and pedal feel for your vehicle with out compromising your ABS. Too much Brake Torque and your ABS goes into ICE mode, too little and there is no improvement to the product. Pedal feedback, Noise, Brake Torque and Dust control was Hawk’s goal with High Performance Street 5.0.

The 5.0 compound is not a replacement for the current HPS product, but a change that allows the driver to challenge themselves and their car with a new and unique driving feel. High Performance Street 5.0 disc brake pads are designed to be the premium replacement pad for American Muscle sports car, German or Italian Touring Sedan, Tuner Market, Light Truck and SUV with over 1900 vehicle applications offered.

This new compound combines the safety and quality of aerospace design partnered with the braking technology of motorsports, the results are shorter stopping distances, improved performance under heavy braking conditions and friendly street car characteristics.

Hawk Performance High Performance Street 5.0 Pads offer more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade, elevating your street car’s performance. This makes them more responsive and durable than most standard original brakes and makes Hawk Performance High Performance Street 5.0 Pads the best choice to increase your braking performance and reliability while being both cost conscious and “Made in the USA”
