We get calls all of the time from people who want to upgrade their brakes and they want to know who we recommend. We always say you need to try HAWK Performance brake pads or rotors. Because HAWK Performance offers so many options they always have just what our customers need.
HAWK Performance manufactures a large variety of brake pads. They make everything from stock replacement to full race and military applications. Because most of our customers still drive their cars on the street we recommend HAWK’s HPS compound.
HAWK Performance HPS pads
The HPS compound is a great step up from your factory pads. They have 20-40% more stopping power than OEM pads they do not fade as fast as OEM pads during spirited driving and they will not eat through your factory cast iron rotors. These are a great upgrade for customers who have started increasing the horsepower in their car.
If the customer is happy with the factory levels of power but plans on driving their car a lot then we direct them towards HAWK’s Performance Ceramic pads.
HAWK Performance Ceramic Pads
They still offer above OEM levels of braking but without the noise and dust associated with high-performance pads. These pads are designed to work with ABS systems for the best possible control.
If however, our customer is planning on auto crossing their car or entering a track day event then their best choice would be the Street Race pads.
HAWK Performance Street Race Pads
These pads are designed to handle the heat of competition and still be able to be driven to and from the track saving time and effort. The only downside to these pads is that these pads due to their competition level of grip and performance they will accelerate rotor wear and have increased dust and noise.
HAWK Performance makes some of the best brake pads for all level of driving skills and competition levels. From the performance, daily driver to the full race competition car HAWK Performance has all of your braking needs covered. PFYC has been selling high-performance parts and accessories for many years and has the ability to get you the best prices on the parts you need to make your car run faster and stop harder.
