Hawk C5/C6 Corvette HPS Street Front Brake Pads
Hawk HPS (High Performance Street) brake pads are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street driven vehicle. Increasing the performance of your vehicles braking system is easy when you choose Hawk Performance's HPS braking compound. This unique Ferro-Carbon formula was developed for street performance using the safety and quality of Aerospace and Motorsports severe-duty friction technology. The High Performance Street compound offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads and can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads. Less fade means you'll have a highly durable brake pad with less brake dust.
The Hawk HPS compound, in most cases, will provide increased brake torque and operating temperature when compared to OEM pads. There will also be a decrease in brake dust. With an upper end operating temperature of 800-900 Deg F, the HPS compound can withstand light track use as long as you are aware of the signs of over-heating and allow proper cool off time when the pads approach their upper temperature. The Hawk HPS compound is not a race compound and it can not withstand prolonged race sessions at high temperatures. Concerning brake dust, the HPS will be cleaner than your OEM Pads, but create more dust than the Hawk Ceramic compound. The performance improvement over Hawk Ceramic comes at the cost of increased dust production.
