Overview:
Hawk Performance Brake Pads deliver enhanced stopping power and reliability for street-legal trucks and SUVs. Designed specifically for Dodge Dakota, Durango, and Ram 1500 models from 2005 through 2018, these front brake pads utilize Hawk’s High Performance Street (HPS) compound to significantly improve braking performance over factory pads. Ideal for drivers seeking stronger, fade-resistant braking without sacrificing daily drivability, these pads offer a balance of power, durability, and low dust generation.
Whether you tow heavy loads, navigate city traffic, or enjoy spirited driving, Hawk Performance pads provide consistent pedal feel and superior fade resistance, ensuring confidence and control in a wide range of driving conditions.
Key Features:
Engineered for enhanced braking performance, Hawk Performance Brake Pads offer the following benefits:
- High Performance Street (HPS) compound with a higher coefficient of friction than standard pads
- Provides 20% to 40% more stopping power compared to stock brake pads
- Exceptional resistance to brake fade for consistent pedal feel under demanding conditions
- Durable ferro-carbon material engineered for longevity and heavy-duty use
- Generates less brake dust, keeping wheels cleaner
- 0.695 inch thickness for extended service life
- Superior high-temperature rotor and pad wear performance
- Specifically formulated for towing and hauling heavy loads without compromising safety
Construction & Design
These brake pads feature a ferro-carbon friction material designed to withstand high temperatures and heavy use. The compound’s advanced formulation ensures minimal fade and consistent friction levels, even during prolonged braking or towing. The pads are precision-engineered to fit front disc brake calipers on compatible Dodge and Ram models, maintaining factory-level fit and function. Their robust construction supports extended rotor life while delivering reliable stopping power.
Performance & Sound
Hawk’s HPS compound enhances braking performance by increasing friction without introducing excessive noise or vibration. Drivers will experience improved pedal modulation and a firm, responsive feel. The pads are engineered to minimize brake fade, ensuring consistent stopping power during repeated or heavy braking scenarios. Additionally, the low dust formulation helps maintain wheel appearance and reduces maintenance.
Installation & Fitment
These front brake pads are designed as direct replacements for the specified Dodge Dakota, Durango, and Ram 1500 models, requiring no modifications for installation. They fit a wide range of trims and model years, including Laramie, SLT, Sport, SXT, TRX, and others within the 2005–2018 range. Installation can be completed with standard brake service tools by professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts. Always follow manufacturer torque specifications and safety procedures during installation.
