HPS
- High Performance Street
Superior Stopping Power
HPS - High Performance Street disc brake pads
are world renowned for increasing stopping power on your street
legal 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..
HPS Ferro-Compound Features:
- Increased stopping power
- High friction/torque hot or cold
- Gentle on rotors
- Extended pad life
- Low dust
- Virtually noise-free
All Hawk Performance High Performance Street brake pads provide
a limited lifetime warranty, ensuring products
to be free of defects from manufacturer’s
workmanship and materials.
Note:
Hawk Performance burnishes its High Performance Street brake pads as a final step in the
factory, but all brake pads have to be bedded-in with the
rotors (new or used) that they will be used against. Properly
bedding-in new brake pads results in a transfer film being
generated at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake
performance.
Brake Pad Installation Procedure
- Install brake pads properly.
Be sure pads are securely positioned in the caliper.
- Flush system with
fresh brake fluid.
- Check all hydraulic parts for
excess wear and tear.
- Check disc for proper thickness,
parallelism, and lateral runout.
- Check disc for scoring
or grooves over .012”depth. If either applies,
resurfacing is required.
- If discs do not need
resurfacing, then contamination from the previous brake pads must be removed.
Sand discs
with 130 grit sandpaper
using
moderate pressure.
Use soap and water to clean discs’ surface after sanding
and machining. Discs should be free and clear of oil, grease,
and brake fluid.
- Inspect calipers for freedom
of movement. Lubricate where
necessary.
Burnishing Instructions
- After installing new brake pads, make 6 to 10 stops from approximately
30-35 mph applying moderate pressure.
- Make an additional 2 to 3 hard stops
from approximately 40 to 45 mph.
- DO
NOT DRAG BRAKES!
- Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
