HPS 5.0 Front Brake Pads

• 2004–2017 Subaru | WRX STI

The Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 front brake pads for the 2004-2017 Subaru WRX STI are a premium Ferro-Carbon compound pad set that fits between the HPS and HP+ compounds, giving you the greatest stopping power and pedal feel for your vehicle without compromising your ABS. Part number: HB453B.585.

• Ferro-Carbon compound formulated to produce extremely low levels of dust in normal street driving conditions while also being very quiet.
• 100-750 Deg F operating temperature range and 100-550 Deg F optimal temperature range.
• Aggressive torque with great rotor and pad wear life.
• Too much brake torque and your ABS goes into ICE mode, too little and there is no improvement to the product. HPS 5.0 is calibrated to avoid both.
• Hawk Performance burnishes its brake pads as a final step in the factory, but all brake pads must be bedded-in with the rotors (new or used) they will be used against. Proper bedding-in generates a transfer film at the pad and rotor interface to maximize brake performance.
• Brake pads are wear items and should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Pads should be replaced when approximately 1/8th inch of friction material remains on the steel backing plate.
• All Hawk Performance compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors. Hawk pads are designed to work with iron and metal rotors.
