Hawk Performance HPS Street Brake Pads

2007–2016 Jeep Wrangler / 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK

HB608F.630

Overview:

The Hawk Performance HPS Street Brake Pads are engineered to deliver superior stopping power for street-legal Jeep Wranglers, specifically designed for model years 2007 through 2016 and the 2018 Wrangler JK. These high-performance pads are ideal for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability. Utilizing Hawk’s proprietary High Performance Street (HPS) compound, these pads provide a significant improvement over factory brake pads, offering increased friction and greater resistance to brake fade.

Whether you’re navigating city streets or tackling spirited driving on winding roads, the HPS Street Brake Pads ensure consistent, reliable braking performance. They are designed to be gentle on rotors, reducing wear and extending the life of your braking components while generating less brake dust for a cleaner wheel appearance.

Key Features:

Hawk Performance HPS Street Brake Pads combine advanced materials and engineering to enhance your Jeep Wrangler’s braking system. Key features include:

• 20-40% more stopping power compared to standard replacement pads
• Higher coefficient of friction for improved brake response
• Excellent resistance to brake fade, maintaining consistent pedal feel
• Reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels and less maintenance
• Gentle on rotors to extend rotor and pad life
• Smooth and predictable braking feel, ideal for spirited street driving
• Designed specifically for use with iron or metal rotors (not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors)
• Operates effectively within a temperature range of 100–700°F (approximately 38–371°C)

Construction & Design:

The HPS Street Brake Pads feature a proprietary friction compound developed by Hawk Performance to balance performance and durability. The compound is formulated to provide a higher coefficient of friction than OEM pads while minimizing rotor wear and brake dust. The pads are precision-engineered to fit the front brake calipers of Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 to 2016 and the 2018 Wrangler JK, ensuring proper fitment and optimal braking performance.

Each pad is constructed with a robust backing plate and high-quality friction material that withstands the rigors of daily driving and spirited use. The design emphasizes consistent brake release characteristics, which contributes to a smooth and confident braking experience.

Performance & Sound

Hawk’s HPS compound is known for delivering enhanced stopping power without the harsh noise or vibration often associated with high-performance brake pads. These pads provide a quiet operation with minimal brake squeal, making them suitable for street use. The improved fade resistance ensures that braking performance remains consistent even under demanding conditions, such as extended downhill driving or aggressive stop-and-go traffic.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of Hawk Performance HPS Street Brake Pads is straightforward and designed to be a direct replacement for the factory front brake pads on the specified Jeep Wrangler models. No modifications to the braking system are required. It is recommended to inspect rotors for wear and replace or resurface them if necessary to maximize pad performance and longevity. Proper bedding-in of the pads after installation will ensure optimal friction and braking response.

What's Included:

• Set of front Hawk Performance HPS Street Brake Pads (sufficient for both front wheels)
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

These brake pads are perfect for Jeep Wrangler owners who want to upgrade their braking system for enhanced street performance. They are well-suited for daily drivers who occasionally engage in spirited driving or require improved stopping power for heavier loads or towing. The HPS pads offer a balanced solution for those seeking better brake feel, reduced fade, and longer pad life without compromising comfort or rotor longevity.
