Overview:
The Hawk Performance HPS 5.0 Brake Pads are engineered to deliver enhanced stopping power for street-legal vehicles, making them an excellent upgrade over standard factory brake pads. Designed specifically for models such as the 2005–2010 Chrysler 300 and the 2008–2010 Dodge Challenger SE and RT, these pads provide a noticeable improvement in braking performance without compromising daily drivability.
Ideal for drivers seeking increased safety and confidence on the road, the HPS 5.0 compound offers a higher coefficient of friction than stock pads, resulting in 20 to 40 percent more stopping power. This translates to shorter stopping distances and improved pedal feel, especially during spirited driving or emergency braking situations.
Additionally, these pads are formulated to resist brake fade, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions. They generate less brake dust compared to many aftermarket options, helping to keep wheels cleaner and maintain a professional appearance.
