Overview:

The Hawk Performance LTS Street Brake Pads are engineered to deliver enhanced stopping power for Dodge Ram trucks from 2003 to 2008, including the 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. Designed specifically for street-legal vehicles, these pads offer a significant upgrade over standard factory replacements. Ideal for drivers seeking improved braking performance without sacrificing daily drivability, they provide a reliable balance of power, durability, and low dust generation.

Utilizing Hawk’s High Performance Street (HPS) compound, these pads increase the coefficient of friction, resulting in 20 to 40 percent more stopping power compared to stock pads. This translates to shorter stopping distances and improved safety under a variety of driving conditions. Additionally, the pads resist brake fade, ensuring consistent pedal feel and dependable performance during extended use.

• Enhanced resistance to brake fade for consistent pedal feel
• Low dust formulation to keep wheels cleaner
• Durable construction for extended pad life
• 0.722 inch thickness for reliable wear characteristics
• Optimized for street use with minimal noise and vibration
• Direct fitment for Dodge Ram 1500 (2006–2008), 2500 (2003–2008), and 3500 (2003–2008) models

Construction & Design:

These brake pads are crafted using Hawk’s proprietary HPS compound, which blends organic and metallic materials to achieve a high coefficient of friction while maintaining smooth engagement. The formulation is engineered to reduce brake fade during repeated stops, making them well-suited for trucks that experience heavy loads or towing.
