Product Information

For the 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT, GT500, V6, and Boss 302 (2012-2013), this is a street-compound brake pad swap. Hawk's HPS compound is built to give you more bite and better fade resistance than a stock or standard replacement pad, without turning your commute into a dusty mess.

Why Upgrade to Hawk HPS Street Pads

Per Hawk Performance, here is what the HPS compound changes:

  • A higher coefficient of friction than a stock pad, good for 20 to 40 percent more stopping power than most standard replacement pads.
  • More resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads, so the pedal stays firm instead of going soft when you're leaning on the brakes hard.
  • More consistent stopping power under repeated hard stops, once fade starts eating into a lesser pad's performance.
  • Less brake dust than you'd expect from a performance compound, so your wheels stay cleaner.

Fitment Notes

Fits 2011-2014 Ford Mustang GT, GT500, V6, and Boss 302 (2012-2013). [VERIFY: this pad's title lists Evo, STi, Genesis Coupe, Camaro SS, and G8 GX applications, but our fitment data places it on the Mustang years and trims listed above. Confirm with the distributor which application is correct before this goes live.]

Install and Honest Talk

This is a brake pad job: wheel off, caliper off, old pads out, new ones in. Beyond that, Hawk's copy for this compound doesn't spell out torque specs, whether new hardware or shims come in the box, or a bed-in procedure. [VERIFY: install steps and hardware, whether shims or clips are included, bed-in procedure.] Honest tradeoff: Hawk pitches HPS as a street compound aimed at everyday stopping power and fade resistance, not a track-only race compound, so weigh that against what you're actually chasing before you buy. What else you need: check the included instructions for whether new hardware or a bed-in procedure is required, and make sure your rotors are in good enough shape to pair with a more aggressive pad since the source copy doesn't address rotor compatibility.
