Designed for street performance enthusiasts who demand enhanced braking power without sacrificing daily drivability, these pads offer a reliable and consistent stopping experience. Utilizing Hawk’s proprietary HPS (High Performance Street) compound, these rear brake pads provide 20-40% more stopping power compared to standard OEM replacements, making them an excellent choice for spirited driving and improved safety.

Whether you are upgrading worn factory pads or seeking better brake feel and fade resistance, the Hawk HPS pads deliver superior performance with minimal dust and noise, ensuring a clean and quiet braking experience.

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 with 20-40% more friction than factory pads
• Consistent 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 and value
• Low brake dust for cleaner wheels and less maintenance
• Virtually noise-free operation for a comfortable driving experience
• Advanced Ferro-Carbon compound developed with aerospace and motorsports technology
• Limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials

Construction & Design:

The Hawk HPS brake pads feature a unique Ferro-Carbon friction formula that balances aggressive stopping power with rotor friendliness. This compound is engineered to withstand the rigors of street driving and occasional spirited use without excessive fade or wear. The pads are precision-manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance. Additionally, Hawk burnishes each pad at the factory to optimize initial performance, although proper bedding-in with your vehicle’s rotors is recommended to maximize braking efficiency and longevity.

Performance & Sound

These rear brake pads deliver enhanced braking performance with a higher coefficient of friction, resulting in shorter stopping distances and improved pedal feel. The HPS compound maintains consistent performance under varying temperatures, reducing brake fade during extended use. Noise and vibration are minimized through Hawk’s advanced friction technology, providing a quiet and smooth braking experience without the squeals or chatter often associated with performance pads.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear brake pads on 2011–2016 Scion tC2 and Scion xB2 models, installation is straightforward and requires no modifications. These pads fit precisely with the factory calipers and hardware. For optimal performance and safety, it is essential to properly bed-in the new pads following Hawk’s recommended break-in procedure, which helps establish a transfer layer between the pad and rotor surfaces.
