Hawk Performance HPS Front Brake Pads

2008–2014 Scion xD

HB627F.690

Overview:

The Hawk Performance HPS Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2008 to 2014 Scion xD, delivering a significant upgrade over factory brake pads. Designed for street performance enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, these pads offer enhanced stopping power and improved brake feel without compromising safety or rotor longevity. Whether navigating city streets or spirited weekend drives, the HPS compound provides reliable, consistent braking performance under a variety of conditions.

Built with Hawk’s proprietary Ferro-Carbon formula, these pads increase the coefficient of friction compared to stock replacements, resulting in 20-40% more stopping power. This makes them an excellent choice for drivers seeking improved braking response and fade resistance while maintaining low dust and noise levels.

Key Features:

Hawk Performance’s HPS brake pads incorporate advanced friction technology to enhance your vehicle’s braking system. Key features include:

• Increased stopping power for safer, more confident braking
• High friction and torque performance both hot and cold
• Gentle on rotors to extend rotor life and reduce wear
• Extended pad life for long-lasting performance
• Low brake dust generation to keep wheels cleaner
• Virtually noise-free operation for a comfortable driving experience
• Developed using aerospace and motorsports-grade severe-duty friction technology
• Factory burnished for optimal initial performance

Construction & Design:

The HPS pads utilize a unique Ferro-Carbon compound that balances aggressive braking performance with durability and rotor friendliness. This advanced material blend is engineered to withstand the rigors of street driving, including stop-and-go traffic and occasional spirited braking. The pads are precision manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent pedal feel. The design also minimizes brake dust and noise, enhancing both aesthetics and comfort.

Performance & Sound

With a higher coefficient of friction than standard pads, these Hawk HPS pads deliver improved stopping distances and greater resistance to brake fade during repeated or heavy braking. The compound maintains consistent performance across a wide temperature range, providing reliable braking whether the brakes are cold or fully warmed up. Additionally, the pads operate quietly, producing minimal noise and vibration for a refined driving experience.

Installation & Fitment:

These front brake pads are a direct fit replacement for the 2008–2014 Scion xD, requiring no modifications for installation. Hawk Performance recommends proper bedding-in procedures to maximize pad and rotor interface, which involves a series of controlled stops to create a transfer film that optimizes braking efficiency and pad longevity. Installation can be performed by experienced DIYers or professional technicians using standard brake service tools.
