Construction & Design:
The HPS 5.0 brake pads feature a proprietary high-performance street compound developed by Hawk Performance to deliver a perfect blend of friction, durability, and low noise. The formulation is designed to maintain consistent braking torque across a wide temperature range, minimizing fade during demanding driving conditions. Each pad is precision-molded to ensure exact fitment and uniform wear, contributing to extended pad life and rotor protection. The backing plates are engineered for strength and stability, reducing vibration and noise for a smooth braking experience.
Performance & Sound
These brake pads are specifically formulated to provide a higher coefficient of friction both when cold and hot, resulting in improved stopping distances and enhanced safety. The HPS 5.0 compound resists fade even under higher temperatures, maintaining consistent pedal feel and braking performance during aggressive or repeated stops. Additionally, the pads generate significantly less brake dust and operate quietly, reducing the typical squeal and noise associated with performance brake pads.
Installation & Fitment:
Designed as a direct replacement for the front brake pads on 2018 to 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee models, installation is straightforward and requires no modifications. These pads fit a wide range of trims including Altitude, High Altitude, Laredo, Limited, Limited X, Overland, SRT, Summit, Trackhawk, Trailhawk, and Upland.
