Using these Hawk Performance brake pads is easy. Just have them installed by a professional mechanic following the standard brake pad replacement procedure. As for maintenance, regularly check the brake pads for wear. If you notice a significant reduction in stopping power or unusual noises when braking, it might be time to replace them. Also, make sure to keep the braking system clean. Avoid harsh driving conditions as much as possible, like continuous hard braking, which can cause excessive wear and fade. When driving, give your vehicle enough stopping distance to prevent overheating the brake pads.
