Using these Hawk HPS front brake pads is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is parked on a flat surface and the engine is off. Then, follow standard procedures to remove the old brake pads and install the new ones. Remember to check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to regularly inspect the brake pads for wear. Look for signs like uneven wear or excessive thinning. You should also clean the brake components periodically to keep them in good condition. Avoid hard braking whenever possible as it can increase wear on the pads. If you notice any unusual noises or a change in braking performance, have your brakes checked by a professional right away.
