Hawk Ceramic Front Brake Pads: Scion xB 2008 - 2015 (xB2)

Hawk Performance Ceramic Front Brake Pads

2008–2015 Scion xB2, Scion xD

HB627Z.690

Overview:

The Hawk Performance Ceramic Front Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB2 and Scion xD models, delivering reliable and consistent stopping power. Designed for drivers seeking a premium braking solution, these ceramic pads offer a balance of performance, durability, and cleanliness. Ideal for everyday driving as well as spirited use, they provide enhanced braking confidence while minimizing dust and noise.

These brake pads utilize Hawk’s Performance Ceramic compound, which is formulated to reduce brake noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) while maintaining strong friction characteristics. This makes them an excellent upgrade for import domestic vehicles, luxury SUVs, sports trucks, and vans that demand quiet, clean, and effective braking performance.

Key Features:

Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads combine advanced materials and engineering to deliver superior braking benefits. Key features include:

• Increased stopping power for improved safety and control
• Extended rotor life thanks to a rotor-friendly friction formula
• Longer pad life compared to standard organic or semi-metallic pads
• Ultra-low dust output to keep wheels cleaner
• Extremely quiet operation with reduced brake squeal and noise
• Stable friction output for consistent pedal feel and performance
• Engineered to optimize ABS system effectiveness with a linear friction profile
• Limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship and materials

Construction & Design:

These brake pads feature Hawk’s proprietary Performance Ceramic compound, which blends ceramic materials with specialized friction modifiers to achieve a smooth, quiet braking experience. The ceramic formula is designed to be gentle on rotors, reducing wear and extending the lifespan of both pads and rotors. Each set is factory burnished to ensure optimal initial performance, though proper bedding-in with the vehicle’s rotors is recommended to create a transfer film that maximizes braking efficiency.

The backing plates are precision-engineered for a secure fit and to minimize vibration, further contributing to noise reduction and consistent brake feel. This attention to detail in design and materials ensures reliable performance under a variety of driving conditions.

Performance & Sound

Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads are specifically formulated to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness, resulting in a quieter braking experience compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The linear friction profile enhances ABS system responsiveness, providing smoother and more controlled stops. Drivers will notice reduced brake dust, which helps maintain wheel appearance and reduces maintenance.

Installation & Fitment:

These brake pads are a direct fit replacement for the front brakes on 2008–2015 Scion xB2 and Scion xD models, requiring no modifications for installation. They are designed to work with the factory brake hardware and rotors. For optimal performance and longevity, it is important to properly bed-in the new pads following Hawk’s recommended break-in procedure. This ensures the formation of a transfer layer on the rotor surface, maximizing braking efficiency and pad life.

What's Included:

• Set of front ceramic brake pads (driver and passenger side)
• Manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty documentation

Ideal For:

These ceramic brake pads are ideal for Scion xB2 and xD owners who want a premium braking upgrade that delivers quiet operation, low dust, and consistent stopping power. They suit daily drivers, enthusiasts, and those who prioritize clean wheels and reduced brake noise without sacrificing performance. Perfect for import domestic vehicles, luxury SUVs, sports trucks, and vans requiring a high-quality ceramic brake pad solution.
