Using these Hawk HPS 5.0 street front brake pads is straightforward. Just follow the standard installation process for brake pads in your vehicle's repair manual. When driving, you'll immediately notice the improved stopping power. But remember, although these pads are high - performance, avoid sudden and extreme braking unless necessary to prolong their lifespan. For maintenance, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads. If they're getting thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep the brake calipers clean to ensure smooth operation. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations while braking, have your braking system inspected by a professional.
