HPS – High Performance Street

Hawk Performance developed its HPS compound for drivers who want a noticeable improvement in braking performance without moving to an aggressive race-oriented brake pad.

The HPS compound provides increased friction compared with typical factory-style replacement pads, helping improve stopping performance and pedal response during everyday driving and more spirited use.

Hawk specifically recommends HPS for street applications.

Increased Stopping Power

One of the primary reasons to upgrade to Hawk HPS brake pads is improved braking performance.

The HPS friction compound provides:

• Increased stopping power

• Smooth braking feel

• Consistent friction characteristics

• Improved resistance to brake fade

• Predictable brake release

• Reliable performance across varying temperatures

This makes HPS a strong upgrade for heavier SUVs such as the FJ Cruiser, 4Runner and Lexus GX.

Excellent for Daily Driving

Performance brake pads don't have to be noisy or difficult to live with.

Hawk HPS pads are designed specifically for high-performance street use, making them well suited for vehicles that spend most of their time on pavement but need improved braking performance.

They're an excellent choice for:

• Daily driving

• Highway driving

• Spirited street driving

• Modified vehicles

• Larger tire and wheel combinations

• SUVs carrying additional accessories or gear

• Drivers looking for improved braking response

Low Dust & Rotor Friendly

Hawk HPS pads are designed to provide improved braking performance while remaining gentle on brake rotors.

The compound also produces relatively low brake dust compared with more aggressive performance compounds, helping make HPS a practical choice for daily-driven vehicles.

Rear Brake Pad Set

Hawk HB477F.610 is a rear brake pad set.

The package contains the pads necessary to service the rear axle of a compatible vehicle.

Position: Rear
Quantity: One rear axle set
Pad Thickness: 0.610"

Front brake pads are sold separately and use a different Hawk part number depending on the vehicle application.

Important Rotor Compatibility

Hawk Performance states that its brake pad compounds are designed for use with iron/metal brake rotors.

Hawk Performance brake pads are NOT compatible with carbon ceramic rotors.

For the Toyota and Lexus truck/SUV applications listed here, standard OE-style iron brake rotors are the typical configuration.

Brake Pad Bedding

Proper bedding of new performance brake pads is important for achieving consistent braking performance.

After installation, follow Hawk Performance's recommended HPS bed-in procedure. Correct bedding allows the brake pad material to establish a proper transfer layer on the rotor surface, helping provide consistent friction and braking performance.
