Using these brake pads is straightforward. Just replace your old brake pads with these Hawk HPS front brake pads following your vehicle's standard brake pad replacement procedure. When installing, make sure to clean the brake calipers and rotors thoroughly to ensure proper contact. As for driving, you'll notice an immediate improvement in stopping power. But remember, during the first few uses, it's a good idea to drive gently and gradually increase your braking intensity to allow the pads to bed in properly. For maintenance, regularly check the thickness of the brake pads. If they get too thin, it's time to replace them. Also, keep an eye on the brake fluid level as it can change with pad wear. Avoid extreme braking as much as possible to extend the life of the pads and reduce brake fade. If you notice any unusual noises or vibrations while braking, have your brakes inspected right away.
