HPS - High Performance Street
HB542F.600

The easiest brake upgrade you can do. Hawk's HPS brake pad compound will greatly increase the stopping power of your Mustang compared to a stock replacement compound.

Best Use

  • Street driving, autocrossing, daily commuting
  • Light open-tracking: Will last much longer than stock pads, but will overheat and fade sooner than the HP-Plus or race pads.

Benefits

  • 20-40% more stopping power than standard pads, for greatly reduced stopping distances
  • High coefficient of friction and high brake torque, whether cold or hot
  • Increased resistance to brake fade
  • Excellent cold stopping ability
  • Easy on the rotor, causes virtually no grooving and slow rotor wear
  • Quiet, essentially as noise-free as stock pads
  • Low dusting in regular use
  • Excellent pad life

Black
HB542M.600

  • Hawk's open-track/HPDE compound
  • Provides low to medium brake torque
  • For moderate pad temperatures of 100°F to 900°F
  • When a small reduction in rear initial bite is needed, use Black rear pads with Blue 9012 front pads.

Not for street use; this is a track-only pad. In street use this compound will not come up to temperature, causing poor stopping and rapid rotor wear.

Blue 9012
HB542E.600

  • Hawk's entry-level road race compound
  • Provides low to medium brake torque
  • Best for pad temperatures of 250°F to 1,000°F
  • Excellent brake release characteristics

Not for street use; this is a track-only pad. In street use this compound will not come up to temperature, causing poor stopping and extremely rapid rotor wear. We have seen the rotor surface wear down past the gas slots in only 100 miles of street use.

HT10
HB542S.600

  • Intermediate to high torque
  • Smooth initial bite
  • For pad temperatures of 300°F to 1,300°F
  • For road racing when more torque than Blue 9012 is required
  • Consistent pedal feel
  • Excellent modulation characteristics
  • Excellent brake release characteristics

Not for street use; this is a track-only pad.

DTC-60
HB542G.600

  • Provides very high torque
  • Less initial bite than DTC-70
  • Excellent brake release characteristics
  • Excellent torque control
  • For Mustangs with high deceleration rates
  • Suitable for Mustangs with or without down force
  • When a small reduction in rear initial bite is needed, use DTC-60 rear pads with DTC-70 front pads.

Not for street use; this is a track-only pad.

DTC-70
HB542U.600

  • Provides extremely high torque
  • Aggressive, yet controllable initial bite
  • Excellent brake release characteristics
  • Excellent torque control
  • For Mustangs with high deceleration rates

Not for street use; this is a track-only pad.
