Hawk Performance Rear Brake Pads

2008–2015 Scion xB2, Scion tC2

HB629F.565-xB2

Overview:

The Hawk Performance HPS Rear Brake Pads are engineered specifically for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB2 and Scion tC2 models, delivering a significant upgrade over factory brake pads. Designed for street performance enthusiasts who demand enhanced braking power without sacrificing daily drivability, these pads provide a reliable and consistent stopping experience. Utilizing Hawk’s proprietary HPS (High Performance Street) compound, these rear brake pads offer improved friction and durability, making them an ideal choice for drivers seeking safer, more confident braking in everyday conditions.

Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling spirited drives, these brake pads increase your vehicle’s stopping power by 20-40% compared to stock pads, ensuring shorter stopping distances and enhanced control. Their low dust and noise characteristics also help maintain a cleaner wheel appearance and a quieter ride.

Key Features:

Hawk Performance’s HPS Rear Brake Pads combine advanced materials and engineering to deliver superior braking performance. Key features include:

• Higher coefficient of friction for increased stopping power
• Consistent braking performance hot or cold
• Gentle on rotors to reduce wear and extend rotor life
• Low brake dust for cleaner wheels
• Virtually noise-free operation for a comfortable driving experience
• Durable Ferro-Carbon compound designed for street use
• Improved resistance to brake fade under repeated use
• Limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects

Construction & Design:

The HPS brake pads feature Hawk’s advanced Ferro-Carbon compound, a unique blend developed using aerospace and motorsports friction technology. This formulation provides a high-performance friction surface that balances aggressive stopping power with rotor friendliness. The pads are precision manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation. Additionally, Hawk burnishes each pad at the factory to optimize initial performance, though proper bedding-in with your vehicle’s rotors is recommended to maximize braking efficiency and pad longevity.

Performance & Sound

These rear brake pads deliver a noticeable increase in braking torque, providing 20-40% more stopping power than standard replacement pads. The HPS compound maintains consistent friction levels whether the brakes are cold or have been heated through repeated stops, reducing fade and enhancing driver confidence. Noise levels are minimized through careful material selection and design, resulting in a quiet braking experience without the typical squeals or vibrations associated with some aftermarket pads.

Installation & Fitment:

Designed as a direct replacement for the rear brake pads on 2008–2015 Scion xB2 and Scion tC2 models, installation is straightforward with no modifications required. These pads fit precisely into the factory calipers and work seamlessly with OEM hardware. For optimal performance and longevity, it is important to properly bed-in the new pads following Hawk’s recommended break-in procedure, which helps establish a uniform transfer layer on the rotors.
