Hawk Performance's High Performance Street disc brake pads are well - known for boosting stopping power on street - legal vehicles. Opting for the HPS braking compound makes it a breeze to upgrade your vehicle's braking system. This compound has a higher friction coefficient than stock brake pads, giving you 20 to 40 percent more stopping power. It also offers better resistance to brake fade compared to most standard replacement pads. With less fade, you'll enjoy a better pedal feel, consistent performance, and a durable brake pad that generates less brake dust.
Using these brake pads is simple. Just replace your old brake pads with these Hawk AP Racing CP7040 ones following your vehicle's standard brake pad replacement process. When installing, make sure to clean the brake calipers and rotors thoroughly to ensure good contact. As for driving, you'll notice improved stopping right away. However, avoid sudden, extreme braking in the first few hundred miles to allow the pads to properly bed in. 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 worn - out pads can cause the fluid level to drop.
