Key Features

Hawk Performance Ceramic Front Brake Pads incorporate advanced technology and materials to meet the demands of modern high-performance vehicles. Key features include:

• Extremely quiet operation with minimized brake noise and vibration
• Ultra-low dust formulation for cleaner wheels and reduced maintenance
• Superior and consistent stopping power for confident braking performance
• Rotor-friendly compound that reduces wear and extends rotor life
• Stable friction output providing a smooth and linear braking feel
• Optimized for use with iron or metal rotors (not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors)
• Enhanced ABS effectiveness due to a linear friction profile
• Limited lifetime warranty ensuring long-term reliability and quality

Construction & Design

These brake pads utilize Hawk’s proprietary Performance Ceramic compound, engineered to deliver a perfect balance between performance and durability. The ceramic material is designed to withstand the high thermal loads generated by powerful engines like the 6.2L Hellcat and 6.4L 392, while maintaining consistent friction levels. The formulation reduces brake dust significantly compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, keeping wheels cleaner and reducing corrosion risks.

The pads are precision-molded to exact OEM specifications, ensuring a perfect fit and easy installation. Their rotor-friendly design minimizes rotor wear, helping to extend the lifespan of both pads and rotors, which is especially important for performance vehicles subjected to aggressive driving.

Performance & Sound

Hawk Performance Ceramic pads are engineered to deliver a quiet braking experience without compromising stopping power. The advanced ceramic formula reduces noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), providing a smooth and refined pedal feel. Drivers will appreciate the linear friction profile that enhances ABS performance, resulting in controlled, predictable stops under all driving conditions.

Installation & Fitment

These brake pads are direct replacements for the front brake pads on select Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Challenger, and Dodge Charger models equipped with 6.2L Hellcat or 6.4L 392 engines. Installation requires no modifications and fits OEM calipers perfectly. Proper bedding-in of the pads is recommended to achieve optimal performance and rotor film transfer, ensuring maximum braking efficiency and longevity.
